Metals Industry, Rolling Mills and Presses

DavyMarkham - Industry Sector - Metal Industries

As the first industrial revolution gained momentum during the early 19th century, both Davy and Markham provided innovative solutions to the demands from the two main drivers of this social change: the replacement of wood with coal for domestic and industrial use, and the development of steel mass production. Davy has previously supplied two of the largest complete rolling mills across the globe; Columbus Steel Mill, South Africa and The Shagang Mill, China.

A characteristic feature throughout the first and now the second industrial revolution is that the mechanical equipment required to satisfy the global demand for metal-based products continues to get bigger in size. Today DavyMarkham supplies key components for some of the world’s largest and most powerful rolling mills and presses.

Typical items include:

Single piece rolling mill housings up to 350 Tonnes;
Composite bolted rolling mill housings up to 550 Tonnes;
Forging press platens and columns for presses up to 35,000 Tonne capacity;
New and reconditioned drive spindles, chocks and cylinders.
