Oversized Coke Oven Pusher Ram
DTE ENERGY TO GET AN 85-FOOT PUSH FROM WOODINGS
MARS, Pa. – Woodings Industrial Corporation, a worldwide leader in the manufacture of metals industry equipment, delivered a new Coke Oven Ram Pusher to the DTE Energy facility on Zug Island in Detroit, Michigan.
Used to push coke out of the oven when the production cycle is complete, the Woodings Coke Oven Ram Pusher is an 85-foot long fabricated beam assembly. Designed and manufactured by Woodings, the Pusher utilizes special steel to meet critical straightness tolerances. For the DTE Energy Pusher, the tolerances are very tight 1/8th inch. The unit is hydraulically driven and features a carbon cutter on the ram head for longer life and for easier repairs. This is the second pusher ram that Woodings has supplied to DTE.
At 85 continuous feet, the Pusher is an enormous piece of equipment. The sheer logistics of producing, transporting and installing the Pusher are very challenging but for Woodings, this type of complex fabrication work is all part of a days work. “This type of project is a great example of our capabilities. We can manufacture to the tightest of specifications and we have the expertise and knowledge to successfully build, transport and install equipment of this size without missing a beat,” said Robert T. Woodings, president of Woodings Industrial Corp.
