Our system can improve the profitability and security of your blast furnace by installing a weighing system for torpedo ladle cars. Every day some thousands of tons of pig irons are leaving the Blast Furnace in the direction of the Steel plant.

The weighing track monitors that movement by measuring the torpedo weight directly at the tapping position.

Knowing the precise net weight of each Torpedo Car will allow you to:

• Optimize the material flow to the steel plant, now that you can transmit the net weight of pig iron arriving there, at any early stage.
• Accurately and consistently fill each Torpedo Car, because the net weight of pig irons arriving from the Blast Furnace can be adjusted.
• Control the growth of tare load before tapping starts, you manage the slag deposition onto the refractory surface, leading to optimized maintenance cycles.
• Optimize the maintenance cycles of Blast furnace, by using the information of the weighing system, for example by supervising the tapping masses and flow rates over longer periods.
• Operate in a safer environment. The reliable weight, dependent, overfilling control contributes to a safer tapping process.

"Thanks to their comprehensive technological know-how and profound experience, JSW and L&T was and is the perfect partner for this project. The excellent cooperation between both project teams enabled us to achieve the specified product quality & accuracy".
