EnVibe’s Hot Rolling Steel

Cecil Demeritt / War Stories

Part of what makes my job so fascinating is all the diverse industries we perform vibration analysis of machinery in. Take, in this case, a steel plant that makes plate steel and large steel pipes. I was able to capture this video of the glowing yellow steel coming out of the furnace and going through the large rolls is interesting. It is impressive to witness seeing something 10 inches thick become 1 inch thick — means a lot of pressure and heat is involved, which requires the reliability of the equipment to maintain safety as well as optimize the energy output.

Watch with fascination!
