Sinter-plant fans
No-load start, fast current decay and variable-speed energy saving on draft and process fans.
Fluid couplings for the Steel industry.
Steel has been essential to modern life since the Industrial Revolution — and the mills that make it run on demanding rotating equipment. Fluidomat couplings start, protect and control sinter-plant, material-handling and process drives across India's leading steel and sponge-iron plants.
Overview
Built for the heat, dust and inertia of a steel plant.
From iron ore and coal at the raw-material yard to sinter, blast furnace and rolling, a steel works depends on a fleet of heavy drives that start against high inertia and run continuously in dust and heat. Fluidomat couplings let motors start on no load, decay the starting-current kick in seconds and protect every drive from jams and overload — while variable-speed scoop couplings turn fan and pump speed control into real energy savings.
Since 1971 our couplings have been proven across the sector — driving sinter-plant fans, long material-handling conveyors, mill auxiliaries and pumps at integrated steel works and sponge-iron units alike.

Applications
Where our couplings work in a steel plant
Material-handling conveyors
Jerk-free belt acceleration, load sharing and continuous declutching on ore and coal conveyors.
Mill auxiliaries
Smooth acceleration and overload protection for crushers, pulverisers and mill drives.
Pump drives
SC scoop couplings vary flow by speed — cutting wear and power on water and slurry duties.
