Continuous thermal mapping to minimise slag carry-over in steel production

The Slag Detection System has been developed using Land's expert knowledge of the application and over 60 years of experience in the steel industry to monitor and aid control of slag carry-over from one process to another.

The Slag Detection System is specially designed to withstand the harsh conditions of continuous operation in the steel plant, with a minimum maintenance requirement. The industrial thermal imaging sensor is housed in a rugged, water-cooled adn air purged enclosure, continuously viewing the tapping area. As the tap commences, the dedicated software automatically begins to record the tap as well as producing a data log and graph of the relevant steel/slag data.

When the level of slag reaches the pre-determined level and alarm is generated (see above) to stop the tap. The recording will end and the files saved by tap number. Full access of the tapping data is available to the operator for quality control purposes.

Note: This product is not available in the USA or Canada.
