Purification of hydraulic oil/gear oil in the steel industry – a win-win situation of cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and green emission reduction



The main application scenarios of hydraulic oil in the steel industry are:

  1. Ironmaking process:
    Blast furnace top equipment: (hydraulic mud cannon, opening machine, material distribution rotator)
    Pain point: High temperature iron filings contaminate the oil, causing valve group jamming and high risk of sudden shutdown.
    Hot air stove valve system:
    Pain point: Long term high temperature operation accelerates oil oxidation, resulting in gum clogging of the filter element.
  2. Steelmaking process
    Converter/electric furnace tilting mechanism:
    Pain points: High impact load, easy emulsification of oil, excessive moisture content corroding servo valves.
    Hydraulic station for ladle refining furnace (LF/RH):
    Pain point: Precision proportional valves require oil cleanliness to reach NAS level 7, and impurities can easily cause abnormal flow control of molten steel.
  3. Rolling process (high fuel consumption!)
    Hot rolling mill: (roughing/finishing hydraulic AGC system, coiler pinch roll)
    Pain point: Metal dust+water vapor mixed pollution, requiring 2-3 oil changes per month, high cost.
    Cold rolling plate shape control system: (bending roller cylinder, running roller mechanism)
    Pain point: Excessive oil particle size directly leads to roller print defects on the surface of the strip steel.
