Optimizing Existing Drive Trains
With experience and expertise in modernizing rolling mills and drive systems, Primetals Technologies ensures smooth replacements and upgrades that result in equal or superior drive performance. A flexible and tailored approach caters to specific customer needs and budgets: from drive replacements and comprehensive upgrades, including drives, motors, and transformers, to cutting-edge technologies.
Starting as early as the pre-project phase, Primetals Technologies experts collaborate closely with plant teams throughout the entire project to develop modernization strategies that minimize production risks. Space constraints and pre-installation requirements are carefully assessed to ensure every detail is addressed. By simulating the integration of new equipment into existing plants upfront, a smooth and efficient transition is ensured. Experienced engineers recalculate the existing drive train according to new process requirements to optimize performance. When updating the system, the approach focuses on reusing as much of the existing drive train as possible, maximizing potential production increases or benefits from changes to the product mix while minimizing investment costs. A single, reliable point of contact is provided for all project needs. Modernization projects are scheduled to align with planned downtime, ensuring minimal disruption. Process upgrades include mechanical and electrical components such as gearboxes, couplings, motors with footprint adapters, and drives for steel plants and rolling mills, enhancing system performance and reliability. The goal of motor and drive modernizations is to enable plants to operate at full potential, with service extending throughout the entire lifespan of the drive trains.
