Steelworks And Ironworks: Where Power is Everything And it Needs to be Controlled

The sector of Steelworks and Ironworks is a particular branch of industrial production that massively utilizes power reducers.

Large and complex mechanical systems and machines are installed in steelworks, which require power and torque to operate correctly and continuously, managing the applied load and ensuring the processes for which they have been designed.

It's essential to consider that these large plants, involving considerable power, must operate efficiently and continuously, working in an environment with severe conditions and strong stresses.

As a result, the reliability and resistance of reducers - crucial components for power transmission and speed control of machines - become fundamental elements to ensure the operational continuity of a large production system such as a steel plant.

Commonly, in steel plants, reducers such as parallel shaft, epicyclic, worm, and orthogonal reducers are employed, all responding to the specific needs of the environment in which they are used.

Let's briefly summarize the specifics of the various types of reducers:

• Parallel shaft reducers: suitable for applications requiring high-efficiency power transmission due to their direct and linear movement transmission.
• Epicyclic reducers: offer high reduction capacity in a compact space and are known for their efficiency and durability. They are often used for applications requiring a high transmission ratio.
• Worm reducers: particularly useful for applications requiring high-speed reductions in limited spaces. They also offer quiet operation, which is advantageous in noisy industrial environments such as steelworks.
• Orthogonal reducers: ideal for applications requiring a right angle between input and output. Robust and suitable for heavy loads, they express essential characteristics for use in steelworks.

These particular mechanisms, the reducers, require attention: maintenance, revamping, or even complete replacement may be necessary. Sometimes, redesigning and building them to specific customer specifications is required.

What do we do at Riduttori Italia? Maintenance, revamping, design, construction, consultancy. Simple.

It's the task we have set ourselves since the foundation of our company: to propose Original Solutions and Multiple Applications in the design and construction of medium and large-sized reducers, also providing all the services needed by those who use reducers in their plants.

That's why we have developed significant experience, direct design and production capacity, and a consolidated presence in many industrial contexts. We offer Solutions.
