Problems Solved:
In the steel industry, the need for high-capacity, durable, and precise handling solutions is critical due to the nature of operations involving heavy and high-temperature materials. Manual handling of steel billets, slabs, and scrap can pose significant safety hazards and slow down productivity. Electro Flux’s Circular and Rectangular Lifting Magnets are specially designed to meet these challenges by enabling quick, reliable, and safe transportation of ferrous loads without the need for slings, hooks, or manual labor. These magnets can be mounted on cranes or gantries for lifting heavy steel sheets, plates, coils, and structural components in rolling mills and fabrication units. By eliminating manual material movement, these systems reduce the risk of workplace injuries and improve load-handling precision.
In addition to material handling, steel plants also face issues with tramp iron contamination that can damage processing equipment such as crushers, shears, and rollers. Magnetic Separators and Magnetic Drums from Electro Flux provide continuous protection against such contaminants by removing ferrous particles from raw materials, scrap feeds, and recycled steel. These separators are installed above conveyor belts or integrated within processing lines to ensure the automatic extraction of unwanted metal, thus extending the lifespan of valuable production machinery. This results in fewer equipment failures, lower repair costs, and minimized production downtimes.
Our equipment is also vital in reducing process delays during billet handling, especially in continuous casting units and reheat furnaces where time-sensitive loading is crucial. The integration of Electro Flux magnets helps optimize throughput while enhancing workflow coordination across operations. Furthermore, with high lifting capacity, reduced cycle time, and robust build quality, our magnets and separators ensure unmatched performance even in harsh industrial conditions. Ultimately, Electro Flux solutions not only increase production capacity and safeguard machinery but also support a safer, more efficient, and more sustainable steel manufacturing process.
Additionally, Vibrating Feeders are used to maintain consistent material flow in rolling and reheating lines. Vibratory Furnace Chargers ensure uniform charging of scrap into induction furnaces. Bin Vibrators prevent clogging of hoppers, while Vibrating Motors drive screens and discharge aids for dust-prone materials.
