Installation of a ladle furnace between the melting and casting areas is vital to assure quality and/or productivity improvements in steelmaking. Ladle furnace arrangements include single stations (with fixed/swiveling gantries or with ladle cars/turrets) and also twin stations (two roofs) with one swiveling electrode gantry.

Features
Most advanced and outstanding design features
Water-cooled roof without refractory lining in center area
Automatic lance manipulator for temperature measuring and sampling
Automatic lance manipulator for stirring and/or powder injection
Wire feeding for deoxidization and microalloying
Automatic coupling system for stirring gas
Easy access to the roof and for electrode replacement
Inert gas stirring system ( porous plugs and/or purging lance ).

Main Task
"Buffer function" between melting and casting Reduced
Reduced time and tapping temperature
Exact temperature adjustment for continuous casting
Steel purification and homogenization
Exact adjustment of the steel composition ( metallurgical fine-tuning )

Main benefits
- Substantial improvements in steel quality
- Substantial reduction in refractory consumption
- Substantial increase in casting yield
- Substantial reduction in total costs
- Substantial increase in productivity
