Special cables for steel industry
Today production industries can´t do without steel materials. Used for multi-storey buildings, bridges or cars, products made from steel are highly responsible for stability and flexibility of such constructions.
For the different production steps in smelting works and rolling mills special cables for the optimum energy supply and data transmission are applied. Cable chain cables drive conveyor belts for iron ore, coal and waste products. At the blast furnaces and between the different rolls, special temperature resistant cables are indispensable.
An accurate and reliable temperature measurement is equally essential during the complete production process. The different thermocouples mounted at the various points of the casting implements transfer the measuring data via specially harnessed cables to a control station that monitor the production process.
SAB BRÖCKSKES offers a broad range of cables and products for temperature measurement technique.
Special cables
Special cables in steel industry include extremely heat resistant cables like glass fibre insulated strands that are usable up to +400°C. Those cables are used directly on cap fitments or on carbonation device, in transport and crane systems, or between ladle carriages.
