Hydraulic Repair for Metal Extraction Industries
Metal extraction and smelting operations run under extreme heat, pressure, and continuous duty. UTE provides specialist hydraulic repair for all hydraulic systems used across the metal extraction process — from ore handling to furnace tilting and casting.
Hydraulic Repair Built for Smelting Environments
Metal extraction operations — whether aluminium smelting, copper refining, zinc extraction, or ferroalloy production — rely on hydraulic systems for ore feeding, furnace tilting, ladle transfer, anode handling, and hydraulic press operations.
The intense heat, chemical exposure, and continuous heavy-duty cycles in these environments place extreme demands on hydraulic components. UTE has been repairing industrial hydraulics in these conditions for over 35 years.
We restore hydraulic pumps, motors, and cylinders used across all metal extraction applications to OEM specifications — with full pressure and flow testing before every component leaves our workshop.
Hydraulic Challenges in Metal Extraction
Extreme Heat Degradation
Radiant heat from smelting furnaces degrades hydraulic seals and oil rapidly. Seal failure under high temperature conditions is among the most frequent causes of hydraulic breakdown in metal extraction plants.
Chemical & Fumes Exposure
Acidic fumes, chemical vapours, and process gases attack cylinder rods, pump housings, and exposed hydraulic connections — accelerating corrosion and seal deterioration.
Heavy Continuous Duty
Furnace tilting, ladle transfer, and ore handling systems operate continuously in three-shift production environments — leaving little opportunity for preventive maintenance.

Why Metal Extraction Plants Choose UTE
High-Temperature Hydraulic Expertise
We use appropriate high-temperature seal materials and understand the specific demands of hydraulic systems operating near smelting furnaces.
OEM-Standard Testing
Every repaired unit is pressure and flow tested before dispatch to verify it meets original OEM performance specifications.
Significant Cost Savings
Refurbishing your existing hydraulic components costs far less than sourcing new OEM replacements — often saving 40–60% of the replacement cost.
35+ Years of Experience
Since 1991, UTE has been the trusted hydraulic repair partner for heavy industrial plants across India, including metal extraction and smelting facilities.
