Amtech, for last 30 years, has been providing Total Solutions in motion control, automation, power quality & energy conservation and industrial electronics to its most discerning clients in the metal industry. It solidifies their stand held by tailoring technology for a wide range of metal forming and press applications. Our Metal Industry solutions include range of VFD, Medium Voltage Drive, Power / Heater controller, Harmonic solutions, Customized Engineered Systems, Automation Solutions and turn-key projects.

Each one is designed to ensure safe, reliable and efficient operations of your process. Some of the solutions in Metal Industry are ;

Rolling Mills / Roller Table / Wire / Sheet Drawing Machine / Cranes / Stacker - Reclaimer / Fume / Dust Exhaust Fan / Blower / Lifter / Pusher / Charging Car / Wagon Tippler / Conveyor.

EOT Grab Crane

The most common but very challenging type of overhead crane electrically operated found in many industries for material handling. Many old systems had limitations like, maintaining differential gear, slip-ring motor and mechanical brakes. Also the maintenance is extremely expensive and time consuming.

Amtech offers solutions for EOT(Electric Overhead Traveling) crane having grab unit for material handling like coal, gypsum, sand, limestone, clinker etc. One such solutions in Cement Industry is for 6 tone capacity EOT Cranes located at 35 feet above ground level, cross traveling 70 feet and long traveling 330 feet. Crane controller with high resolution encoder used to monitor and synchronize grab/hoist and smooth start/stop. This resulted in smooth operation, reduced maintenance of brakes, precise closing of grab, increased productivity and energy saving.

Kiln Application

Currently, in most of the kiln applications in steel / cement industry, DC motors and drives are used due to their excellent torque speed attributes, but the maintenance of dc motor is a big task. One of our customer replaced DC Motor and Drive with similar capacity AC Motor and VFD to run the kiln, but could not increase the speed of kiln beyond 3 rpm due to insufficient power/torque at low speed and gear ratio mismatch.

Amtech, installed additional auxiliary AC Motor and VFD with controller which is used for load sharing between two VFDs. Speed of kiln increased to the desired speed of 4 RPM, resulting in higher productivity. Smooth speed control of kiln achieved through two VFDs and motors of different ratings. At Amtech, we assist our customers to size the VFD and motor system for new requirements as well as replacing the old system
