Constructing LF Ladle Furnaces
Competitive and quality production is unthinkable today without secondary metalwork solutions. The technologies provided offer all the most advanced technological solutions in this field to provide manufacturers with the tools needed for producing high-quality steel. Today over 170 secondary metalwork processes are in operation due to this system and are supplied all over the world with a ladle capacity from 5 to 300 tonnes.
Features
The most advanced and highest performing design features:
- Cooled roof with refractory lining centre
- Automatic lance for temperature sampling
- Automatic manipulator for mixing or injecting powder
- Power supply with cored wire for deoxidation and micro-bonding
- Automatic connection system for mixing gases
- Easy access at the vault and easy replacement of electrodes
- Inert gas system for mixing (porous plug or lance)
Main objectives
- Reducing “bottleneck” between smelting and casting
- Optimising both the processing times as well as the tapping temperatures
- Precise temperature regulation for continuous casting
- Cleaning and standardising steel
- Making the desired steel composition (fine metalwork adjustment)
Main benefits
- Substantially improving the quality of steels
- Substantially reducing the consumption of refractories
- Substantially improving the casting yield
- Substantially reducing the total costs
