Scrap is an unavoidable byproduct of steel production—but how it is managed can make the difference between profitability and loss. Poor scrap handling leads to waste, rework, quality issues, and higher raw material costs. On the other hand, effective scrap management strategies can improve yield, reduce expenses, support sustainability, and even generate additional revenue. For … Read more
In a steel plant, where production runs 24/7 and machinery operates under intense loads and extreme temperatures, unplanned downtime can be catastrophic. Every hour of lost production due to equipment failure not only halts output but also increases energy waste, labor inefficiencies, and material scrap. Preventive maintenance (PM) is a proven strategy to minimize these … Read more
In steel manufacturing, energy isn’t just a utility—it’s one of the largest contributors to total production costs. Whether it’s fuel for blast furnaces, electricity for electric arc furnaces (EAFs), or compressed air and steam for rolling mills, energy consumption directly impacts the bottom line. With global energy prices fluctuating and environmental regulations tightening, energy optimization … Read more
