Servicing the steel industry nationwide from our locations in Alsip, IL, Gary, IN, Granite City, IL, and Birmingham, AL, we’re your partners for a greener, more profitable future.
Our scopes range from simple, efficient repairs to complete rebuilds that include frame straightening, roll overlaying, and pipe replacement. Our resourcefulness saves our customers time and money while eliminating the potential emissions from manufacturing new parts.
Our proprietary overlays and manufacturing processes result in more tonnage produced for our steel mill customers. Instead of purchasing new rolls, we work with steel mills to refurbish and re-use their roll fleet. This saves time, money, and reduces the steel industry’s carbon footprint.
Expensive bearings are discarded daily because it is assumed their reliability has expired. The cost of a re-used bearing can be as low as 20% of the cost of a new bearing. Not only does this service save money, but it also promotes reusability with our customers.
This leads to cost savings and quicker turnaround times when rebuilding caster segments and roll assemblies. In the end, quicker lead times mean more uptime for our steel customers.
This allows our customers to catch possible issues before they arise. If problems do occur, our smart rotary joint allows for a more efficient failure analysis. Machine monitoring is the future of the steel industry, and our smart rotary joint is just the beginning.
We are one of the few domestic sources with experience manufacturing these intricate assemblies. Our dedication to quality ensures our bearing housings maintain the very close tolerances needed for the application.
