Contact-free measurement of the liquid steel temperature increases productivity of electric arc furnaces: Siemens expands the range of application of its RCB system
Simetal RCB Temp from Siemens VAI Metals Technologies offers operators of electric arc furnaces (EAF) a precise, contact-free method to measure steel bath temperatures. At the heart of Simetal RCB Temp is the Siemens Refining Combined Burner (RCB) system equipped with an optical sensor and analyzing unit. In contrast to conventional processes, the temperature can be measured at short intervals, so the best time to tap can be determined more exactly. As a result, power-on and power-off times are reduced for an increase in the EAF’s overall productivity. Measurement cartridges are also no longer required, further lowering operating costs. Simetal RCB Temp also improves operator safety by eliminating potentially hazardous work near the furnace.
