Tire & Rubber Industry
Out-mine your competition with the right equipment. We offer the most resilient speed reducers on the market that perform in severe operating conditions.
What Your Operation Is Up Against
Local Manufacturer Support and Experience
- Equipment from overseas or older manufacturers often lacks reliable local support or responsive customer service..
Equipment owners having fewer and fewer places to turn to answer
technical questions or get supportHaving the right local support can help build relationships that lead to cost savings, best practices, and critical asset alternatives and solutions.
Aging Equipment
- Aging facilities combined with reduced workforce puts a strain on most plants and facilities.
- Older equipment requires increasing manhours to maintain and monitor.
- end of life equipment can lead to unplanned downtime on critical process applications resulting in significant portions of the plant shutting down.
Aging Infrastructure
- Many facilities must improve performance without complete plant replacement.

Steel Solutions in Action
Every application has its own challenges, and choosing the right solution requires confidence in both the product and the team behind it. Our customer stories show how we work through real requirements, real environments, and real operating demands to deliver solutions built for the job.
The Best Gearbox, The Fastest Response
One of the largest steel recyclers in the United States has a sheet mill in Hickman, Arkansas that keeps plenty busy--recycling over two million tons of steel each year. With such a large recycling operation, one would expect that Nucor’s management constantly keeps a watchful eye on its machinery to prevent breakdowns. In 2007, as part of a capital project, Nucor upgraded 48 of its tunnel furnace rolls. During this project, due to performance and delivery issues with its former gearbox supplier, Nucor decided to trial 10 gearboxes manufactured by Sumitomo Drive Technologies.
