Typically, continuous caster roll units are lubricated with grease pumped through the bearings, and cooled by water running through a closed system. However, such a system will always need frequent planned maintenance shutdowns that makes maintenance costs rise as productivity and profits fall. With the SKF ConRo solution, for both top and lower zones, fully sealed, relubrication-free units deliver enhanced reliability for increased productivity. Significant cost savings also result, as grease consumption and downtime for repairs and maintenance drop significantly due to simplified mounting procedures. There is also far less hazardous waste generated during wash downs, so the overall environmental impact of the mill is reduced.

SKF is changing the world through the power of knowledge and engineering. SKF started in 1907 as a bearing company, but today we make everything from lubrication systems to mechatronics. You can find our products & solutions in almost anything that rolls or moves, from space shuttles to skateboards.
