Primetals Technologies replaces LD (BOF) converter for ArcelorMittal Ruhrort in Germany

摘要

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 tonnes will be suspended by a maintenance-free Vaicon Link 2.0. This flexible and rugged suspension system ensures smooth loadbearing 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.
