Newly designed horizontal measuring and sampling system |
Primetals Technologies has won an order from ArcelorMittal Ruhrort GmbH to replace the LD (BOF) converter “K2”. The new turnkey converter with a tapping weight of 150 metric tons will be suspended by a maintenance-free Vaicon Link 2.0. This flexible and rugged suspension system ensures smooth load-bearing and allows for heat-related deformations. A newly developed device for horizontal measuring and sampling from the tilted converter will also be installed in Ruhrort. The new converter is scheduled to come into operation in October 2017.
