BMG Hydraulics supplies hydraulic electrode control system
November 2014
Pneumatics & Hydraulics
BMG Hydraulics recently completed the design and manufacture of a new hydraulic control system for precise furnace functions, including temperature control, required during the production of ferrochrome.
“This new hydraulic electrode control system replaced the existing system after a transformer explosion caused substantial damage at one of the mine’s furnaces,” says Dustin Pereira, projects and engineering manager, BMG Hydraulics. “The entire replacement system was designed, fabricated, tested and supplied to the mine in less than three weeks. A system of similar complexity and size would normally be completed in about 12 weeks.
“Hydraulic control systems are essential for furnace functions and therefore play a critical role during ferrochrome production. All components that needed to be replaced were supplied by BMG hydraulics, which means that in the future, the mine has immediate access to specialist services and quality spares.”
BMG Hydraulics enhances its manufacture and repair service with a total design solution, using the latest CAD and CAM software. This service encompasses expertise from design, to manufacturing and assembly of a complete system.
The company offers the industrial and mining sector a comprehensive service for hydraulic systems that combines quality branded components, hydraulic engineering and contamination control, as well as a test and repair service, to ensure optimum performance and extended service life.
BMG’s service to the hydraulics sector includes a mobile workshop that is fitted with tools, equipment and quality branded spares to be able to perform functions like troubleshooting, on-site repairs, installations, commissioning and system flushing. This service also encompasses on-site fluid analysis and hose and pipe assembly.
