Ecolab® Rolling Mills IQ™ addresses mechanical, operational, and chemical issues in hot rolling mills that lead to water quality problems, reduced production efficiency, and shortened equipment lifespan. The system utilizes real-time oil and turbidity sensors within the cooling circuit to continuously monitor water quality and asset performance, enabling proactive maintenance strategies. By integrating advanced sensor data with ECOLAB3D™ digital insights, automated chemical treatment, and on-site expertise, Rolling Mills IQ aims to decrease defects, prolong the life of critical assets, and enhance overall operational reliability. Key benefits include reduced downtime from slippage and cobbles, improved process safety, fewer repairs or replacements for descale pumps, decreased steel quality defects due to nozzle clogging, and extended life for components like sand filters and cooling towers.
