MEET THE SANDMAN®
In continuation of our strategy "The future is manless", the SandMan® is another step in this direction
It addresses two fundamental priorities on every ladle of EAF and integrated plants:
- Precise filling of the well block with well filler sand and therefore
- Enabling a better opening rate.
The filling of the well block is still done manually in most plants today and tracking for a process optimization is not possible without measurements.
This unique manipulator combines both of these aspects in a robust and space saving design.
The SandMan® pushes safety forward tremendously by removing a dangerous everyday task and keeping operators out of harm's way

EFFICIENT DEDUSTING CONTROL
You can only gain the maximum out of your offgas system, if you know what is happening and if you have the tools to control it and adjust it to your needs!
The necessity of utilising the installed offgas system equipment and the available exhaust capacity call for an intelligent and efficient control system.
The heart of the system is the BSE Efficient Dedusting Control (EDC) that collects all information of the offgas system, analyses it and anticipates accordingly.
HIGH TEMPERATURE QUENCHING
Optimal for our environment and your efficiency!
The BSE High Temperature Quenching (HTQ) system provides most rapid offgas cooling with highest efficiency.
- Cooling of the gases from direct furnace evacuation by injection of atomised water into a water spray chamber
- Fast quenching of the gases prevents de-novo synthesis of Dioxin/Furans and reduces the total level of organic compound emissions
- Low operating cost, lower pressure drop in the DEC duct and less water-cooled ducts required
