Steelworks & Bridge Manufacturer

Ladle Crane

The ladle crane, etc., of ironworks are operated under harsh conditions.

Lubricator in damaged condition

Under such conditions, the oil coating unit may refuse to rotate, or the oil won’t come out due to solidifying of the felt.

Ladle crane 8 wheels on one side

Flange applicator installed for 8 wheels on one side, 4 wheels on the inside and outside.

Ladle Crane/X-4

Wheel replacement was every 3 months under lubricant, but the lifespan was extended to 1 year after installing the applicator.

Slab Yard/Gantry Crane

The slab yard of ironworks operates under high temperature conditions.

Gantry Crane/X-4

Under such conditions, because the wax will be subject to high temperatures, Bordon High Temperature Wax will be used.

Torpedo Car

A special freight car used in ironworks for transporting pig iron (molten iron) wherein ambient temperature reaches near 150℃.

Torpedo car/X-6

Borden High Temperature Wax will be used for areas in which the ambient temperature will reach 150℃ and Bordon wax will be used in other areas.

Coke Dry Quenching Equipment/X-6R

When a resistance is applied to the wheel flange of dust collector adjacent to a CDQ tower, the left/right tension changes, which causes the duct to shift. Installation of X-6 solved that issue.

Bridge Manufacturer Outdoor Crane/X-2

Film is formed on the flange side surface, even in areas subjected to weather on an outdoor crane, fulfilling the lubrication function.

Shipyard

Overhead Traveling Crane

The indoor cranes of the shipyard have a high rate of operation compared to large sized outdoor cranes and because the movement speed is faster as well, the wheel flange and rails wear out faster.

Overhead Traveling Crane/X-2

Lubricants caused the wheels to slip and flange wear was intense, but the installation of X-2 solved this problem.

Overhead Traveling Crane

The indoor cranes of the shipyard have a high rate of operation compared to large sized outdoor cranes and because the movement speed is faster as well, the wheel flange and rails wear out faster.

Overhead Traveling Crane/X-2

Wheels were replaced every 3 years until now while operating under no lubrication, but there has yet to be a replacement since installing X-2.

Jib Crane

Outdoor jib crane is subject to weather and because an extreme-pressure load is applied to the wheel flange surface, the operation environment is harsh.

Jib Crane/X-3

The lifespan of the wheel was extended substantially after installing the applicator.

Goliath Crane

4 wheels inside and outside of the 24 wheels on one side, a total of 8 units of flange applicators were installed experimentally.

Goliath Crane/X-4

Wheel replacement was every 3 years under lubricant, but there hasn’t been a wheel replacement since installing the applicators.

Jib Crane

12 wheels of the 24 wheels on one side, a total of 24 units of flange applicators were installed.

Jib Crane/X-4

Wheel replacement was once a year under lubricant, but the lifespan was extended to 3 years since installing the applicators.

Goliath Crane

Of the 24 wheels on one side, 8 wheels with the most wear, a total of 16 units of flange applicators were installed.

Goliath Crane/X-4

Wheel replacement was every 3 months under lubricant, but the lifespan was extended to 1 year after installing the applicator.

Automobile and docks

Overhead Traveling Crane

The indoor cranes of automobile press shop, because the span is long, have wheel flange and rails with tremendous load on them.

Overhead Traveling Crane/X-4

The installation of X-4 suppressed the wear and the braking in certain areas was solved.

Overhead Traveling Crane

The indoor cranes of automobile press shop, because the location where die and coil are lifted and lowered is about the same, braking occurs in certain areas, exacerbating wear.

Overhead Traveling Crane/X-2

The installation of X-2 suppressed the wear on the wheel flange and the braking in certain areas was solved.

Gantry Crane

The gantry cranes of docks are subjected to weather and with the frequent lifting and lowering of containers with high speed, the operation environment is harsh.

Gantry Crane/X-5R

The traversing wheel of the gantry crane is a double flange, but when the load is applied only on one side, X-5 can do the job.

Amusement Park

Locomotive

The locomotives of theme parks have an extremely high frictional sound between the wheels and the rail on curves, and many children have been seen covering their ears.

Locomotive/X-5L

Since installing X-5, the high-pitched frictional sound was solved and the lifespan of the wheels was extended substantially.

Locomotive/X-5R・90°

Since installing X-5, the high-pitched frictional sound was solved and the lifespan of the wheels was extended substantially.
