Steel is the silent strength behind our modern world. From the fork you use at breakfast to the bridges that…
Drills may create holes, but for true precision and durability, countersinks and center drills take the stage. These tools refine, guide, and prepare holes so that fasteners fit perfectly and machining remains accurate.
In the heart of every coke production facility lies a series of mechanical systems that ensure efficiency, safety, and continuity. One such critical component is the coal discharge plough, responsible for diverting, guiding, and discharging coal from conveyor systems during the coking process. This specialized equipment, manufactured with high precision by Steltech, plays a vital role in keeping coke plant operations smooth and uninterrupted.
In the mining and heavy machinery industries, safety isn’t optional — it’s engineered into every bolt, beam, and weld. One of the most critical concepts in structural crane design is the use of safety factors. These mathematical buffers ensure that structures withstand not only known loads but also unexpected forces, imperfections, and usage variations. In essence, safety factors protect lives and investments.
In crane design — especially in heavy industries like mining and infrastructure — selecting the right steel is crucial. Two of the most commonly used structural steels are St37-2 and St52-3. Each has unique mechanical properties that make it suitable for different applications, environments, and load conditions. Understanding their differences is essential for engineers, designers, and project managers aiming to build safe, durable, and cost-effective cranes.
