Convincing performance and functioning - environmentally friendly

We consider the cokeless cupola a melting process for the future, not only from an ecological point of view:

Due to the use of the primary energy source natural gas and its high thermal efficiency, this relatively new melting variant is able to spare resources and to reduce the emission of CO₂. The separate feeding of energy source and melting material as well as a steplessly adjustable burner control permit a flexible production. The emissions of NO_x, CO, SO₂ and the dust emission are considerably below the legal limits.

The gas consumption per ton of liquid iron is about 49 Nm³/h (approx. 530 kWh) at a tapping temperature of  1420 °C. The charging materials can be steel scrap, scrap iron, return scrap, pig iron as well as slag forming agents. Depending on the requirements, the iron can then be cast, or it is adjusted to the required analysis and temperature in an induction furnace. 

The most important metallurgical advantage of the furnace is the low sulfur content in the molten base iron of approx. 0.01%!

In order to guarantee uniform melting conditions, the furnace is equipped with modern gas burners. Each burner has its own gas, air and oxygen valve for the exact regulation of the burner performance. This also allows to adapt the melting performance easily to the requirements.
