NUCOR YAMATO STEEL (USA) places order with Danieli Centro Met for a Q-EBT Sand
Increase in safety and flexibility of operation, together with a reduction in OPEX, are the targets to be achieved at the EAF’s of NYS
Moving one step ahead towards the increase in safety and flexibility of operation, NYS has placed an order for the Q-EBT SAND, which will enable a completely remote closing operation of the EBT tapping hole, not only reducing the turnaround time of the EAF, but also ensuring that the presence of the furnace operators in the EBT sump is minimized.
The Q-EBT SAND, which is part of the Danieli’s Automatic Furnace Technology, is designed to perform the filling of the EBT tapping hole with the refractory sand material (generally Olivine). A dedicated pneumatic system conveys the refractory sand material, also contributing to a faster operation.
Through the Q-EYE Camera, that equips the Q-EBT Sand, the furnace operators not only inspect the EBT hole conditions after tapping, but also have a visual support of the Q-EBT Sand operation.
EAF operators will execute the whole process from the furnace control room in safety conditions.
