Understanding How Steel Mill Automation Can Improve Safety

From cranes handling thousands of pounds of scrap steel to those transporting liquid metal at very high temperatures, the safety of both workers and equipment is critical in a steel manufacturing plant. By building safety right into the equipment, systems and processes running in the steel mill, you can keep operators safe and better informed of what is going on through every step of the process.

Incorporating Smart Solutions into the Steelmaking Process

The demand to incorporate smart solutions and automation throughout every step of the steelmaking process is rapidly increasing. From steel production to distribution, innovative technology helps increase your safety, uptime, and productivity.

Metals Production Case Studies

Duff-Norton Product Helps Simplify Steel Mill Process

To increase speed and efficiency, our customer adapted an automated Larry Car containing an onboard weighing system and a hopper to capture alloy materials from eight overhead alloy material storage bins. In this configuration, the Larry Car travels between the two BOFs on rails. It unloads the alloy materials directly into the BOF by opening and closing the hopper dump gate. Duff-Norton’s SuperCylinder RO530-B47-015 powers the dump gate motion.
