Industry

Metallurgy

Metallurgical production demands instruments that withstand high temperatures, dust and vibration — from charging furnace feed bins to storing finished concentrate.

Typical applications and solutions

Raw material level control in blast furnace and electric furnace bins

Raw material level control in blast furnace and electric furnace bins

Controlling the charge, coke and flux feed into receiving bins before smelting ensures accurate component dosing and process stability.

Measurement challenges

High temperature, dust, equipment vibration.

Solution

CFR6900 radar level meter + radar 3D scanner

Level measurement in the crushing and sorting complex

Level measurement in the crushing and sorting complex

Level control in crusher receiving bins during raw material preparation prevents both overflow and the crusher running dry.

Measurement challenges

High material throughput, heavy dust generation.

Solution

Radar level meter + radar 3D scanner

3D inventory of concentrate and finished product stockpiles

3D inventory of concentrate and finished product stockpiles

Accurate volume and mass accounting of metal concentrate at open and covered storage sites underpins production planning and reporting.

Measurement challenges

Irregular stockpile shape, multiple signal reflections from the material.

Solution

3DPro2300 radar 3D scanner

Flow and density control of slag slurry

Flow and density control of slag slurry

Controlling slurry parameters in slag hydro-removal systems helps maintain process stability and reduce pipeline wear.

Measurement challenges

High abrasiveness, elevated temperature, medium viscosity.

Solution

Density meter + electromagnetic flowmeter
