Eliminate delays, shutdowns and waste so you can boost profitability!

When you’re pushing hard to keep up with the global demand for steel, you can’t allow unexpected shutdowns, equipment failure and runaway waste to slow you down. If you can’t maintain an efficient flow of raw material – including coal, iron ore, coke and limestone – production drops, along with revenues. At the same time, your costs go up due to unscheduled maintenance, inefficient energy use, safety issues and more, which squeezes profits from both sides.

Forty years ago, there were only eight countries capable of producing more than 10 million metric tonnes of steel per year. In 2014, there were 18 countries that produced that much steel, which means your competition can come from anywhere in the world. All it takes is a mistracked conveyor assembly or an accumulation of fugitive material to force you to shut down operations, especially on older conveyor equipment. Even fugitive dust can cause a plant shutdown for health and safety reasons.

Solving problems with durable, effective solutions.

The equipment we manufacture at Martin Engineering is designed to keep materials moving efficiently, quickly and safely throughout your plant. At every key point in the process, starting when the raw material is unloaded from the ship or railcar, our products help you maximise efficiency as material travels through a complex system of conveyors that connect sintering kilns and coke ovens to the blast furnace, basic oxygen furnace or electric arc furnace. We provide durable, effective solutions that clean conveyor belts thoroughly and eliminate carryback. Plus, our transfer point and flow aid products keep material moving through chutes and hoppers and prevent it from sticking to the interior walls of your kilns and silos. And we have the most effective solutions on the market for containing and filtering dust.

Over seven decades, we’ve built a worldwide reputation for solving our customers’ problems in the steel industry. That means whatever your biggest challenge is, we’ve probably seen it before and already come up with a solution that works. So give us a call and let one of our highly experienced engineers apply their expertise to your business.
