Furnace Rocker/Pier Load Cells
Does anyone have experience with using load cells on their furnace piers or tilt platform? We’re thinking about trying to get those on there. Has anyone worked with a specific company to get these in place?
Slag Pit vs Slag Pot
We’re looking at possibly getting rid of our front door slag pot, and replacing it with a pit to be cleaned with a loader. One thing we’re not sure on is, with the greatly increasing desire to keep people away from the furnace during melting, I wanted to know if anyone is slagging off into […]
New Sampling Machine
Great meeting from the Seattle group, thanks again for the open and honest discussion. One thing that I would like to expand a little on out of the no-man on the floor and technology discussion is on sampling machines. Currently we have some early generation BSE TSMs. We’re looking at alternatives that allow us […]
Looking for 12-inch diameter LMF electrodes
Anyone else using 12-inch diameter electrodes
Burner Angle
Is anyone else here using Praxair Cojets? We’re wondering if our burner angle is correct. Currently we sit at 20 degrees from horizontal, wondering if anyone’s having success with another burner angle?
Tap Hole Digger

We stopped spraying two years ago; our supplier only recently inquired why we stopped taking material and has reclaimed their pump sprayer. Anyone want the slurry, we have […]
EAF Copper Tube Panels Inspection
We’ve recently had some nasty failures on panels. One thing this has highlighted to us is our panel life tracking, inspection, SOPs, etc. need some love. We are using copper tube panels today, and our current SOP is generally to run until they fail (usually in the furnace), with some cursory inspection offline when we […]
Protocols for blocking bad system sensors
We have RTD sensors on outlets for all our water-cooled ductwork sections and compute a delta-T in the eaf plc. Alarming is activated for our operators via their hmi if dT too high. We recently had one RTD fail and give temp over 600 oC. Discharge flow verified fine and normal visually. DEC section involved […]
