Thermal Instability
High temperatures and pressures cause emulsions to "break" or oils to smoke, creating fire hazards and poor lubrication.
Steel Rolling Fluid Solutions
Engineered Fluids for Extreme Rolling Demands
From hot strip mills to tandem cold rolling, KERUN delivers precision lubrication and cooling to ensure superior surface quality, dimensional accuracy, and maximized mill uptime.
Process Challenges
The High-Stakes Environment of Modern Rolling
In steel rolling, microseconds of instability can lead to millions in losses. Thermal breakdown, surface defects, and system fouling are constant threats to your profitability.
Surface Defects
Roller marks, orange peel, staining, or residual iron powder compromises coil value and downstream processing.
System Fouling
Sludge, sticky residues, and microbiological growth clog filters/nozzles, disrupting continuous casting and rolling.
Rising OPEX
Excessive fluid consumption, high energy usage, and frequent roll changes erode profit margins.
KERUN Solution Approach
Eliminating Variables: Precision Control for Flawless Rolling
Process Discovery & Audit
Map steel grades, reduction schedules, cooling water chemistry (hardness/Cl⁻) and roll roughness to build a risk baseline.
Tailored Formulation Engineering
Match viscosity, EP anti-wear additives and emulsion stability to your mill speed and finish requirements—no over-engineering, just fit-for-purpose chemistry.
On-site Commissioning & Alignment
Supervise system flushing, fluid charging and initial parameter calibration to ensure lab-proven performance is fully replicated on the mill floor.
KERUN LMS Lifecycle Stewardship
Regular refractive index checks, tramp oil monitoring and routine microbial screening to preempt issues and extend fluid life.
