Emissions cut

SKF says its ConRo roll line unit, a Beyond Zero Portfolio product, reduces an estimated average of 1.5t CO2 per roll line per year. In a normal-sized continuous steel casting machine with 400 roll lines, this means an annual CO2 reduction of about 600t. ConRo rolls are relubrication free; this eliminates grease consumption, saving customers money. Plus, says SKF, the robust design of ConRo extends roll line unit service life by 25% or more.
