Metallurgy
Global economic expansion has greatly increased the demand for iron, steel, aluminum, and copper. Scrap handling facilities, steel plants, rolling mills, aluminum smelters, and electrowinning operations require rugged material handling machines that place high demands on energy and data transmission systems. Reliability is of paramount importance, as any unscheduled downtime will cause waste and lost productivity. Electric systems must withstand high heat, sparks, metal splatter and conductive dust. Aluminum pot line cranes need conductor systems that can handle high currents during the stationary operating cycle. In steel mills, mission-critical charging and ladle handling cranes must operate where furnaces and molten steel ambient heat often exceeds 70°C. To survive, cables need special heat shielding and conductor rails often require high-heat insulation. Bar, billet and coil handling cranes operate at high speeds and must position and turn loads accurately. Lastly, the environment around electrowinning and plating lines will corrode ordinary electrification components.
Conductix-Wampfler products are used in metals facilities all over the world. We understand metallurgical processes from raw material supply, to metal making, to final finishing. With our global sales and service network, we are always close to your business for local service and support. If you need on-site installation assistance or a complete turnkey-job, there is no more experienced partner than Conductix-Wampfler.
Our products for metal plants include:
Conductor Rails – provide runway power for Charging Cranes, Ladle, and Tundish Cranes, slab/billet cranes, and coil/bar/plate handling cranes. Insulated bars are used up to 1500 amp; Welded Cap Rail for 2500 to 6000 amps. They power cranes in corrosive sintering, plating, and electrowinning operations, with optional Dura-Coat protection and supply continuous current draw for aluminum pot line cranes that operate while stationary.
Cable Festoon Systems – reliable cable handling for bridge power to all process and handling cranes with straight or curved runs. Our optionally pre-assembled systems minimize installation time.
Motor-Driven Reels – are low maintenance and manage cables and hoses for transfer cars, dependably.
Spring-Driven Reels – provide power for scrap crane magnets and other uses.
Energy Guiding Chains – manage cables and hoses for various types of moving equipment.
Slip Ring Assemblies – with rugged enclosures, transfer power and control signal to rotating ladle turrets on continuous casters or provide rotating control/power for pot line cranes.
Jay Radio Remote Controls – offer a safe way of operating or monitoring machines from a distance. The comprehensive range of industrial and safety radio remote controls offers countless solutions to adapt to an extensive number of metallurgy applications.

Additional information
Conductix-Wampfler spring cable reels are used for the automatic reeling of cables on various types of moving equipment. These include hoisting and other material handling devices; e.g. portal cranes, grabs, magnets, lift and working platforms, machinery, mobile cranes, transfer cars or cleaning systems.
These machines are mainly track-based and operate in a straight line either horizontally or vertically. For the use on spring driven cable reels Conductix-Wampfler offers a comprehensive range of special reeling cables to transfer low voltage electric power and control signals to the moving machinery.

Additional information
Conductix-Wampfler spring hose reels are used for the automatic reeling of hoses for the transfer of fluidic and aerially elements to various types of moving equipment. These include movable production equipment, mobile cranes, irrigation or cleaning systems.
These machines are mainly track-based and operate in a straight line either horizontally or vertically. Single channel/multi channel swivel can be used for air, water and hydraulic oil transmission. The maximum pressure for swivels is 300bar.
According to the customer needs there are also customized solutions available, e.g. double hose reels for hydraulic luffing jibs.
