Iranian Firm Produces Cable Collector System without Carbon Brush for Steel Industries
“Industrial cable collector without carbon brush, usable in various industries, is a system for replacing all devices that use carbon brush,” Behnam Alizadeh Qeshlaq, the managing-director of the company, told ANA on the sidelines of Asr-e Omid event in the Northwestern city of Tabriz.
He explained that the carbon brush, which is indigenized by the company, was previously imported to Iran, adding, “The company’s main goal is to reduce the number of industrial collector cables with carbon brush that are widely used in steel factories, iron smelting plants, and tractor manufacturing companies.”
“The problem with carbon brushes was that slipping and surface vibration caused sparks and stopped production lines and furnace charging,” Alizadeh Qeshlaq said.
Noting that the project has started since two years ago, he said, “Our system is working without stop or failure, and no reports of malfunctions have been reported yet.”
Carbon brushes are used in steel industries to ensure a reliable electrical connection and transfer current between stationary and moving parts of equipment like electric arc furnaces and rolling mills.
They are designed to withstand high temperatures, heavy loads, and challenging operating conditions.
