Energy by design

All-electric, powered increasingly by the sun.

The plant’s furnaces run on electricity, while captive solar supplies an increasing share of its power demand.

Energy strategy

Lower-carbon production starts with the furnace choice.

Induction heating is used across the bearing-tube line, avoiding fossil-fuel furnace heating. A 3.08 MWp captive solar installation, single-axis trackers and bifacial modules support the plant’s electricity demand.

Approximately 40% of power demand is reported as met by solar. Current energy performance can be shared during supplier qualification.

What it means for customers

Energy visibility alongside quality visibility.

The same plant design that keeps heating under control also makes the energy route clear.

01 / ELECTRIC

Induction heating

All furnaces on the bearing-tube line use electricity for billet heating.

02 / SOLAR

Captive generation

Solar generation is connected to the plant and supplies a reported ~40% of power demand.

03 / TRACEABLE

Measurable route

Energy data can sit alongside heat-number, inspection and dispatch traceability in a supplier review.
