Metallurgy

The metallurgy industry demands robust and reliable equipment to support various processes involved in metal production and processing. Sauer medium- and high-pressure compressors are designed to meet these stringent requirements, ensuring efficient and consistent performance in applications encompassing the entire range of processes for producing and using metals, metalloids and non-metals. Our compressors provide the necessary pressure and reliability for tasks such as pneumatic conveying, air separation, and furnace operation.

However harsh the ambient conditions, Sauer compressors are renowned for their reliability, efficiency and long service lives – making them indispensable in many fields of metallurgy. Their compact design, energy-efficient operation, and long maintenance intervals make them a cost-effective solution for continuous operation in demanding metallurgical environments.

• Customer-specific documentation, calculations and service concepts

Producing & Forming Steel

Medium- and high-pressure compressors for air and gases play an essential role at steelworks. They are used not only to make steel and alter the carbon content in the blast furnace, but also to press the steel into slabs and then treat them. As key components within the overall system, the compressors must be manufactured to the highest quality standards and durable enough to withstand extreme temperatures and dust levels. Sauer compressors are used for descaling, raising the pressure for steel presses and inputting argon and nitrogen for carbon treatment. Our customers include operators of steelworks, manufacturers of steel production line machinery and steel presses as well as engineering offices.
