Steel production – Descaling in steel production
Descaling in steel production with a professional
The demands on steel have never been as high as they are today. Whether rolled sheets for the automotive and aerospace industry or high-strength forgings and seamless pipes: To achieve the highest quality and perfect surfaces, the most modern tools, processes and manufacturing solutions are required.
HERMETIK is the leading manufacturer of individual descaling solutions for your steel products.
With more than 40 years of experience in hydromechanical descaling, we supply everything you need for unrivalled efficient descaling in steel production with high-pressure water – from the nozzle to the water treatment. All you have to do is provide the water connection, we do the rest. HERMETIK systems offer top performance in descaling in steel production. Our tailor-made descaling solutions ensure oxide- and defect-free surfaces in every production line – contact us now for advice!
Increased productivity thanks to effective descaling in steel production
Hermetik produces suitable descaling solutions for all types of rolling mills and steel goods. Whether parts or turnkey systems, thanks to constant innovation we have been supplying the latest technological solutions for descaling in steel production for decades. Whether primary or secondary descaling, our scale washers are suitable for installation in several positions in the rolling mill:
after the caster
before the roughing mill
after the furnace
in the finishing mill
HERMETIK Descaling in Steel Production at a Glance
Whether profile or flat steel, billet or forging, Hermetik supplies the right system solution for descaling in steel production. Our turnkey systems are tailored precisely to your requirements – our complete descaling systems include scale washers, pump rooms, high-pressure pipes and high-pressure valves. Possible applications include:
Descaling of pipes and rods
Through optimized, program-controlled descaling with hermetic systems, significant increases in productivity can be achieved in the production of pipes and rods. Whether with rotating nozzle headers or a stationary nozzle headers: thanks to program-controlled adjustment to the pipe diameter, a wide variety of products can be completely descaled.
Descaling of blooms, bars and billets
HERMETIK systems ensure optimal descaling in the production of slabs and billets. With HERMETIK scale washers you can achieve perfect surface quality with energy-saving production.
Hot strip descaling
HERMETIK scale washers achieve significant efficiency improvements in descaling in steel production in wide strip rolling mills. The HERMETIK descaling system for hot strip removes the scale from the entire surface of the steel strand.
Round forging descaling
With HERMETIKs, oxide layers can be completely removed even from round forgings and ingots. In ring rolling mills, our descaling systems offer the possibility of removing the scale effectively, in a resource- and environmentally friendly way from the shell and end surfaces and even from the piercing hole.
Descaling of sectional steel
Adjusting the nozzles for different steel sections is a particular challenge. The patented rotating nozzle headers of a HERMETIK high-pressure water milling system are program-controlled and adapted to the external shape of the different sections and thus always work at the optimal distance from the sectional steel surface.
HERMETIK – market leader in descaling in steel production for decades
Innovative solutions for descaling in steel production are HERMETIK’s trademark. Our rotating high-pressure nozzle headers remove scale and non-metallic inclusions completely and reliably. Surface defects are a thing of the past.
Our systems impress with their particular efficiency: Plunger pumps use less energy and have fewer losses in higher pressure ranges than centrifugal pumps When descaling at higher pressure, the amount of water can be reduced.
Reduced water use also reduces the cooling of the steel, thus saving energy and costs
Process optimization in descaling. Steel production – with hermetic
Tailor-made HERMETIK systems can be supplied to suit every company and enable a significant increase in productivity thanks to innovative high-pressure water descaling in steel production. Thanks to their direct integration into the production line, they ensure time- and energy-saving descaling and protect the environment by completely avoiding chemical pickling processes.
We provide you with the right solution tailored to your needs, from design to commissioning:
Complete pump room incl.
- Low-pressure system with filtration and degassing, with booster pumps if required
- High-pressure water generation in the energy-efficient hermetic plunger pumps
- Control via high-pressure valves
Distribution via HP pipelines
Scale washer with conventional, stationary nozzle header or rotating nozzle header
Collection of scale and water including removal
There are no limits to the individual design of your descaling system thanks to height adjustment, vertical and horizontal compensation, quick-acting valves and much more.
