WEG Roller Table motors cut production stoppages & improve productivity for
GERDAU steel rolling mill plant
WEG Roller Table motors are overcoming adverse operating conditions to provide improved productivity and reliability, and substantial energy
savings at the GERDAU steel rolling mill plant in Brazil.
conditions such
as high temperatures, severe mechanical impacts and permanent contact with water.
The machines need, therefore, to rely on high technology, highly resistant
components to withstand the tough working conditions, and avoid the unplanned
production outages that result in financial losses. For example, Gerdaus steel mill
produces 12- thousand tons of rolled steel per month, an unexpected 2- hour
interruption in the production process, would result in the loss of 120-tons of rolled
steel.
Unfortunately, production outages were a common problem for GERDAU, as the
majority of motors installed in the plant were quite old and did not provide the
necessary features to sustain reliability. In particular, the motors were not equipped
with adequate shaft sealing systems. This allowed water to penetrate into the motor
bearings, shortening their life.
To solve this problem, the existing motors have been replaced by new, high
technology Roller Table motors, designed and manufactured by WEG based upon
Gerdaus requirements. These motors ensure higher productivity, improved
efficiency and deliver lower maintenance costs.
The Roller Table motors are designed with features that enable them to operate with
complete reliability, despite contact with corrosive agents, such as water, steam,
dust, high temperatures, and despite being subjected to a high number of start-ups
and frequent rotation reversals. The features include radial fins, and IPW66 degree
of protection, together with WEGs innovative W3Seal sealing system for added
protection against water ingress.
Since the Roller Table motors were delivered, in late 2008, they have proved
themselves, performing reliably and fully meeting Gerdaus expectations. As a
result, Gerdau is benefiting from far greater certainty in its operations, because the
company no longer faces the previous production shut-downs resulting from
electric motor failures.
Rolling steel is a tough process, the rolling machines being subjected to aggressive
