Steelmaking Processes and Main The steel items found around us are made through various processes. First, raw materials such as iron ore, coal, and limestone, are received, then they are used to produce steel using blast furnaces and converters before the steel goes through continuous casting and rolling machines to become products. Tsubaki products support these important processes.

Bucket wheel reclaimers Overload protectors The swivel ring gears of reclaimers are driven by pinions. Tsubaki’s mechanical protection equipment instantly prevents overloads for even large machines due to clogging of coal or fragments in gears. Power Cylinders Bucket wheel reclaimers A wheel with buckets is attached to the end of the boom for this type of reclaimer. The wheel is rotated to transport bulk materials, e.g. ores, piled in the storage yard to the next process. Tsubaki Power Cylinders are electric cylinders that can be put in service with just simple electric wiring. This means...

Tsubaki Power and Performance for the Steel Industry - 10

The pig iron making process extracts iron from iron ore. Here, sintered ore and coke are produced, and molten iron is taken out of the blast furnace. Coke plant The coke plant fires coal in a furnace to produce coke. Coke provides a heat source for extracting iron by reducing iron ore with carbon, and for melting iron ore and limestone. CDQ uses inert gas rather than water to cool coke, then recovers exhaust heat to generate electricity. Tsubaki’s Power Cylinders are employed in many CDQs, contributing to energy savings at steel mills around the world. Compared to hydraulic cylinders, Power...

Sinter plant Coke plant Sinter plant The sintering process fires powdered iron ore (which comprises the majority of iron ore received) to produce sintered ore. Indicator pins (replacement alert mark) Inspection with indicator pins Scrap conveyors The service life limit is reached when teeth are worn to the point that they contact the mark. (Prepare for replacement if teeth come close to the mark.) Sprockets equipped with Tsubaki indicator pins (replacement alert mark) are recommended when sprockets are used in dusty or otherwise severe environments. They indicate the impending need for...

Tsubaki Power and Performance for the Steel Industry - 12

Blast furnace Blast furnace Sintered ore The blast furnace produces iron from iron ore. Iron ore and coke are fed alternately from the furnace top, while a blast of hot air is blown from the furnace bottom. The CO2 gas generated by combustion of coke reduces iron ore to iron. As temperature in the furnace reaches as high as 2000°C, molten iron is removed from the bottom of the furnace. Belt conveyor for feeding raw materials Slag and molten iron Roller chain couplings Miter Gear Boxes Each roller chain coupling consists of a double strand roller chain wrapped onto two sprockets. The chain...

Tsubaki Power and Performance for the Steel Industry - 13

Steel mill In the steel mill, the pig iron (molten iron) produced in the blast furnace is decarbonized in a converter furnace to form molten steel. The next process is continuous casting, where molten iron solidifies and gets cast into billets of a given shape. Converter Here, the molten iron from the blast furnace is refined into molten steel. As molten iron contains large quantities of impurities, e.g. carbon, silicon, and phosphorus, it is transferred into the converter, where blasts of oxygen are blown from both top and bottom to oxidize and remove impurities. This produces steel of the...
