Furnace Slide Gate (FSG) mechanisms are used for controlling the molten steel flow from EAF to ladle and their performance greatly affects the steel quality and furnace productivity.
EAF plants use FSG mechanisms to reduce slag carry over into the ladle.
Benefits
- Eliminate launder with strict flow control of molten steel.
- Faster tapping time.
- Long Slide Plate Refractory life.
- Increasing ladle life due to less slag carryover.
- Increased consistency in alloy recoveries and less lime consumption.
- Improved specific power consumption.
- Safe and robust system.
- Easy and quick changing of mechanism.
