The steel industry is booming. Production downtime is something you want to avoid. And this is precisely why the Enns based gear system specialists EISENBEISS have developed an extremely reliable ladle turret drive for continuous casting lines.

The new Millmaster® ladle turret drive offers optimum protection against gear failure and also features an emergency hydraulic drive.

The challenge: improving resistance to fracture at toothing and casing

Even the most experienced crane operators cannot always place ladles filled with molten steel exactly into the ladle turret carrier arms. The turn of the output gear continues via the moving parts in the gear to the motor. The motor's holding brake may case brief gear overload which then results in toothing and casing breakage.

The solution - complete separation of the output gear

An EISENBEISS speciality: by completely interrupting the power flow in the gear system while the ladle is being put into place, EISENBEISS ladle turret gear units offer optimum protection against load peaks that come from the turret.

The EISENBEISS Advantage: best possible operational reliability in tough endurance conditions

• Eliminating weak points in the ladle turret gear system make sure you have the best possible operational reliability for the continuous production of semi-finished stock.
• Thanks to the straightforward and fast installation there are no significant hindrances to production when modernising the unit.
