Metal Ravne orders EAF Revamping at INTECO

In March METAL RAVNE has awarded INTECO with the complete revamping of its 1991 FUCHS EAF furnace.

INTECO will convert the old 45t EAF into a furnace matching today’s technology standards by implementing state of the art injection technology, a new SwingDoor, an off gas pressure monitoring system, as well as a new automation system, the ISEC electrode regulation system and a robotic device for temperature and sampling.

The revamping will lead to a higher operator safety, an increase of the overall performance and a fully reproducible and customizable EAF process control which is crucial for high quality steel plants, where the steel grades and related operational practises change at every heat.

The project will be carried out by INTECO special melting technologies supported by INTECO PTI for the injection technology as well as the SwingDoor and by INTECO atec automation for electrical-, and automation engineering as well as the electrode control. It is a great opportunity for INTECO to show the varied skills of the group members and most importantly the competence, expertise and teamwork available for the customer. Due to the long-term relationship with Metal Ravne and the great cooperation throughout the past years a successful commissioning of the EAF furnace beginning of August 2015 can be assured
