Mold Level Sensor Repair Services

Steel producers often encounter challenges when critical sensors, such as mold-level sensors in continuous casting machines, become damaged. The immediate solution might seem to be ordering new parts, but this often leads to long lead times and availability issues, especially when parts are custom-designed for specific equipment. These delays can result in reduced plant throughput, compromised quality, and financial losses. Mold-level sensor repair service is the optimal solution for maintaining high-quality and efficient casting operations in the steel industry.

The mold-level sensor repair service from Primetals Technologies ensures that the continuous casting process remains operational and efficient. Without a functioning mold-level sensor, casting operations must be performed manually, leading to significant fluctuations in quality and performance. In severe cases, the casting machine may need to be shut down, resulting in substantial production losses. To avoid these disruptions, maintaining the availability of mold-level sensors with a short lead time is critical for ensuring high-quality and efficient casting processes.

As part of the company’s comprehensive “maintenance and repair” strategy, the mold-level sensor repair service offers two primary support methods for steel producers:

Regular preventive inspections: proactive maintenance to identify and address issues before they occur, ensuring consistent quality and productivity

On-demand repair services: damaged sensors are sent to Primetals Technologies for repair, ensuring faster availability and significant cost savings compared to sourcing new parts.

Benefits of Mold-Level Sensor Repair

• Improved availability: repaired sensors are delivered faster than new parts, minimizing downtime
• Cost savings: repairing sensors is a more economical investment than purchasing new ones
• Guaranteed performance: repaired sensors are refurbished and pre-tested to ensure they function like new

Refurbished vs. New Sensors

Mold-level sensor repair services ensure no difference in functionality or performance between new and refurbished sensors. When a damaged sensor is sent to Primetals Technologies for repair, it is refurbished and pre-tested to operate like new. This approach is especially advantageous when a damaged sensor is urgently needed to maintain operations, and new parts are not readily available. Refurbishment is not only faster but also more cost-effective than waiting for new parts.

Contribution to the Circular Economy

The mold-level sensor repair service emphasizes repairing and reusing assets rather than discarding them, extending the life of critical equipment, reducing waste, and conserving resources. This approach aligns with Primetals Technologies’ commitment to environmental responsibility and supports the circular economy.

By choosing mold-level sensor repair services, steel producers benefit from increased efficiency and reliability, while also contributing to a sustainable future. This service ensures the uninterrupted operation of casting processes, maintains high-quality production, and fosters cross-industry progress toward true circularity.
