Hello,

A Company is seriously interested in finding a manufacturer of mobile equipment for electroslag welding. Required previous experience with field welding of tyres (rotating tracks) for rotary kilns employed in cement manufacturing.

Any ideas where to look for?

Suggestions welcomed.

Best regards,

You can only try a Google Search.  That equipment was mostly used in the Soviet Union.
The hiway commission placed a moratoriam on electroslag welding due to problems.

Moratorium's lifted under certain conditions.  Never was a moratorium for non-bridge structures.

You're not going to find somone who makes ESW equipment AND has the extremely specialized experience you're looking for.

Previous posts appear to be talking about joining by electroslag welding.  If you are talking about weld build-up of tyres (either the bogies or the actual kiln runners), this could be done by strip cladding and that process can be operated in either the submerged arc or electroslag mode, depending on the alloy.

We offer strip cladding, as well as other specialty system, to perform such tasks.  Also, we can offer machine grinders specifically designed for use in refurbishment/repair of kiln tyres.

You can see such items at:  www.euroweld.com
