General Mechanics

The General Mechanics Sector is characterized by the great commitment required from all parts of the company because of the variety of needs expressed by general mechanics. 
The Forgital Group not only makes its rolled rings but also its consultancy available to its clientele, composed above all of small users. This consultancy ranges from the choice of materials, to  the definition of configurations and the realization of the quality control specifications.



The General Mechanics sector comprises a great many different markets, the most important of which are the following: 


- Chemical equipment

- Shipbuilding

- Steel Mill Equipment

- Cableways



The General Mechanics sector supplies components for machinery such as:


- pulleys and hubs for winches

- hydraulic motors

- servomechanisms

- machinery of the most varied kinds



The following materials are used: 


- carbon steels 

- medium and high
-strength alloyed steels



Chemical Equipment



The Chemical Equipment Sector demands the availability of products with consolidated functions, but which are innovative as regards materials and configurations.
The Forgital Group has always been a preferred interlocutor for industries in this Sector thanks to the reliability of its products, the stability of their performance and the reproducibility of the individual process stages guaranteed by them.

The Chemical Equipment sector provides components for chemical equipment and reactors such as, for example:


- dryers

- autoclaves

- exchangers

- separation and catalysis towers

- incinerators

- purification plants



The following materials are used:


- carbon and alloy steels

- all grades of stainless steel

- nickel, titanium and cobalt alloys



Shipbuilding



The conquest of this sector by the Forgital Group is due to the innovative proposal of profile rolling solutions, specially designed for the rolled rings traditionally requested with rectangular sections. 
The execution of rolling by the Forgital Group has also further demonstrated that the Shipbuilding Sector, to the extent that it is technologically consolidated, offers ample space for the improvement of customary designs and executions.



The Shipbuilding Sector provides the following components for surface and submarine vessels:


- steering and stabilization complexes

- engine parts

- generators

- reduction gears

- lifting gears

- structural parts

- launching mechanisms

The following materials are used: 


- carbon steels

- high-strength alloyed steels

- austenitic, duplex and super duplex stainless steels



Steel Mill Equipment



The Forgital Group meets the needs of this Sector through an extremely wide-ranging relationship with its clientele, and from simple supplier of rolled rings very often arrives at collaboration in choosing the materials and designing the components themselves. 

The Steel Mill Equipment Sector supplies components for melting furnaces, hot and cold rolling mills and drawing machines;  for example:


- supports

- bearings in oil baths

- winders

- bushings



The following materials are used:


- high-strength carbon and alloyed steels

- stainless steels for high temperatures



Cableways



The Cableways Sector constitutes a specialist niche which the Forgital Group entered in order to meet the needs matured in the Sector itself following the decisive technological progress made in it in recent years.
Thanks to profile rolling technology and the high level of knowledge of materials, the Forgital Group has therefore been able to present cableway manufacturers with solutions which truly meet the regulations and standards currently applied, alternatively to those already in use. 



The Cableways Sector provides the following components for cableways for carrying people and cable winch systems:


- sheaves

- hubs

- cable winding drums

- pulleys



The following materials are used:


- carbon or low
-alloy steel with resistance to low temperatures

- weldable steels
