BOF scrap charger from Pecor is specifiec on Houghtosa:'e 1120 by Oreat Lakes against Pydraul 312 spec cX pecor. Straightwell has been ordered to cut cost on mobile equipment by Plant Manager. Units are in open hearth area and if opera tors use Air Packs as indicated by Straightwell, Pydraul will operate successfully. Reclamation could also cut costs since they are periodically dumping charge on each machine due to contamlnatlo i. Following actions are needed at Qreat Lakes to obtain business : 1. Fague send proposal to Straightwell on use of Pydraul 312 in both Askania and mobile equipment. Push for definite trial in Askania. Confirm use of air-packs by operators of mobile equipment. If not used, cdor will prevent Pydraul use. Reclamation should be stressed also. 2. Additlonil contacts are necessary to get in here. Straightwell stated he isn't interested in helping us on the 6crajv charger uo we must get back to the project engineers, Foti-yk and Sebastian. The ConCast unit should be recheeked for fluid need through M. Jones, Chitf Engineer, and by Randy Qraham at ConCast. Contact with Straightwell's boss, Main tenance Superintendent, should be made to get in with a more reliable decision maker. Cc-ntact with the Supt. Com bustion and Supt, Melt Shop or BOP will be needed to get in Askanias and BOP scrap charger- since they are directly cost responsible. Contact with Supt. Power Plant may lead to Pydraul AC business. Since plant manager is ordering cost reduction - contact may be acceptable there. /pke David A.
