During the 2019 summer break, Ascometal successfully modernized the EAF of its Hagondange plant.
The steel shop is well known for its vertical bloom caster, which has been an acknowledged competitive advantage for years in the automotive segment.
The new EAF and smokes capitation system will improve reliability and productivity of the furnace, reduce energy consumption and reduce CO2 and dust emissions
The furnace itself is now slightly narrower but higher and new injection devices for oxygen and carbon are added in order to better mix the influx and optimize thermodynamics. Last but not least, the user-friendly interface has been improved, allowing and easier and more precise monitoring of the EAF.
Pierre Frentzel – CEO of Ascometal – declares: “this is a great and decisive move for our Hagondange mill. We now have a new EAF with better design and best technologies available. This clearly puts us in the best conditions to service the demanding automotive related sectors”.
Customers who visited the new equipment were positively impressed by the new set-up.
