Electromagnetic Slag Detection (ESD)

Clean Steel with Electromagnetic Slag Detection ESD 300 and ESD 400

Slag-free transfer of molten steel is critical for prime or scrap and critical for profit or loss in producing high-quality steels. Regardless of whether it is for furnaces, ladles, or distributors: Large quantities of slag must never be transferred to the next vessel.

The ESD Electromagnetic Slag Detection, positioned at the ladle bottom, sounds an alarm as soon as slag flows through and sends a signal to automatically close the slide-gate.

Developed with a background of 30 years of experience, based on 300 slag detection systems with 3600 ladles installed, the new generation of AMEPA Slag Detection with ESD 300 and ESD 400 once again sets a new benchmark for the industry.

• High steel purity, even in the transition zones
• Reduction of the quantity of slag carry over by up to 90%
• Increasing the yield by up to 1.0%
• Up to 50% longer sequences
• Up to 60% less clogging of the SEN
• Longer service life for the refractory
