Musical sounds are not necessarily what you expect to hear when you enter our production site in Hilchenbach. But that's exactly what is happening this Saturday evening: instead of the roaring drills of large machines or dull thuds, there are harmoniously coordinated musical tones. The reason for this is a concert by the Philharmonie Südwestfalen together with soloist Adrienne Haan as part of the “VielKultur” festival. Under the direction of Enrico Delamboye, our industrial site is transformed into a stage for timeless musical classics.   Industry and music - a perfect combination! Both areas are constantly about innovation, perfection and passion. We are enjoying an unforgettable evening that demonstrates the harmonious relationship.

When running energy-intensive processes with green power, a new type of energy infrastructure is required. Within such a setup, a battery energy storage system (BESS) is a crucial component. The X-Pact® Battery Storage system can store excess energy during off-peak times in a large array of individual cells and quickly provide it again when required. The highly modular system is available either as a containerized or non-containerized version, providing easy integration into any process environment. Find out more about how SMS’s premium BESS solution can increase the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of your business. https://lnkd.in/e9hHGnhr #turningmetalsgreen #greenpower #storage #battery #XPactAutomation #integratedsolutions

SMS group giant torque spindles can transmit torques up to 40% higher than conventional slipper-type spindles as a result of development in fields of materials, heat-treatment, geometry and tribology. Despite a high level of standardization, our spindles are tailored made and offer a high degree of variability including selectable features such as different lubrication types. This includes a highly efficient oil-air lubrication system introduced by SMS, which offers a minimal oil consumption of <10 – 20 liters per day per set. Due to their outstanding power density, reliability and versatility our SMS giant torque spindles have proven themselves in both new plants and modernization projects, replacing cardan joint shafts or older slipper-type spindles.   Discover how SMS Giant Torque Spindles can elevate your plant performance! https://lnkd.in/eqKkDydH

Did you know? By 2050, an estimated 35 % of steel will be produced from scrap. That is a significant increase from today – and a positive overall development, because it will reduce carbon emissions and conserve valuable natural resources. For us, increasing the ability to recycle steel is one of the strategic pillars for making our industry more sustainable. #turningmetalsgreen
