MORE INFO MOTORS AND DRIVES — DECADES OF EXPERIENCE AND PROVEN TECHNOLOGIES Innovative drive systems, customized to meet the needs of your plant. Steel plants, especially rolling mills as well as processing lines, depend mainly on uninterruptible processes and on the quality of the steel rolled. As a result, drive technology plays an essential role. The drives that we deliver are dimensioned in accordance with the customer's plants and metallurgical process and can be integrated seamlessly into higher-level automation systems. Because of their extremely high dynamic and static accuracies, the drives strictly adhere to speed and torque standards. We are able to deliver the complete drive system: transformers, converters, and motors – matched exactly to each other. We rely on premium suppliers for drive systems, which provide highly flexible drive solutions and allows for scalable power demands, required by modern drive systems. Standard functions like metals drive control applications, drive sequence control, operator control, diagnostics, communication with higher automation levels are included. MORE INFO PROCESS CONTROL & PLANT AUTOMATION Modern and powerful process control and optimization systems ensure a safe and user-friendly plant operation. We offer a comprehensive spectrum of cost-effective automation applications for all production units in the iron and steelmaking industry from one single source. This includes powerful process control, stable process optimization systems and solutions for quality-assured production. As repeatedly demonstrated, our solutions can significantly improve the performance of production and the quality of your products and enable the production of new steelgrades (e.g. for the automotive industry). Consistent operator guidance and process information across all metallurgical units permit the steady control of production. This leads to plant-wide standardization for maximized plant performance, availability and flexibility. Process tracking functions provide sufficient documentation of iron and steel production as well as the extensive acquisition of quality related data. MORE INFO MODERNIZATION PACKAGES Modernization solutions specially tailored to the needs of our customers improve plant competitiveness, broaden the product mix, keep operational costs down, and lower maintenance expenditures. As the original supplier of many electrics and automation systems in the metals industry, we have developed modernization packages and upgrade solutions as a cost-effective method for improving system performance and maintaining asset value. As a result, the working life of your plant can be extended with improvements in maintainability and performance. Because of the modular design it is possible to install such packages as stand-alone versions or embedded into existing environments. Primetals Technologies modernization packages are designed to get you a state-of-the-art system without the need to replace the entire plant equipment. Another advantage: availability and performance improvements can be achieved at low investment costs.
