Our Liquid Engineers combine experience in metalworking fluids with steel industry expertise to help improve cold mill operations
The Cold Mill is where value is added in the steel making process. Our Liquid Engineers have applied process and application expertise to help you meet the challenges the cold mill presents.
We understand that you need to improve productivity and reduce maintenance downtime by increasing the life of critical bearings in the cold mill, decrease your consumption of grease / circulating oils on work and back up rolls and increase the life of spindle couplings
There is added pressure to meet health and safety concerns and legislative changes by reducing the environmental impact of steel mill manufacturing processes and assuring a safe working environment for employees.
Our comprehensive product ranges help deliver value to operations within the cold mill. We bring best-in-class synthetic fluid technology to life in cold rolling applications by delivering the advantages of neat oils and emulsions while overcoming the challenges each brings. The synthetic technology reduces coolant consumption and waste volumes, and delivers greater operational consistency, improved surface quality and an improved operating environment.
For skin pass or temper rolling, our temper fluids are designed to deliver excellent cleaning ability and corrosion protection for high quality finished products. To protect the final products in the cold mill, our corrosion preventives are designed to offer product quality and consistency.
Castrol’s strong relationships with leading OEMs have helped us develop a wide range of approved lubrication solutions to fulfill cold rolling mill machine specifications and requirements. By reducing maintenance overheads, our solutions help lower overall production costs throughout the cold rolling mill. Productivity increases are matched by enhanced environmental compliance.
