Unpredictable slag carry-over from ladle to tundish represents a serious problem, which can lead to either steel impurity or poor ladle yield. Ergolines VSD gives the right balance. The system early detects slag carry-over from ladle to tundish, thus allowing the operator, or an automatic control system, to shut-off the ladle, preserving steel purity in the tundish.
NEEDS
- Increase ladle yield and reduce steel waste
- Reduce slag entrapment in the cast product
ADVANTAGES
- Steel quality improvement
- Optimized slag/steel ratio at the end of the casting sequence
- Optimized ladle yield
- Reduced wear of refractory and slide gate refractory plate
