This equipment is used to apply a textured finish to large rolls used in the manufacture of steel sheets. It manipulates the client's spark erosion equipment which creates the required surface finish.

Crossfield Engineering worked closely with the client producing these machines to their design; this involved working to close tolerances and required great care and attention to detail during both the fabrication and assembly stages, both of which were carried out within our workshop facility.

This cooling conveyor photographed during assembly carries 10 pots each containing 18 tonnes of molten metal, the aggregate weight of 180 tonnes is loaded at the feed end of the conveyor and takes one hour to travel to the discharge end where the cool pots are off loaded.

This conveyor links two key processes transferring potentially dangerous molten metals at high volumes within very rigorous safety requirements.
