The cleaner, cost saving solution for today's improved steelmaking. A unique patented process for continuous feeding and preheating of metallic charge (scrap, pig iron, HBI, etc.) to the EAF while controlling gaseous emissions.

The charge is loaded directly from the scrap-yard to the charge conveyor, where it is automatically and continuously transferred to the EAF as it is preheated by off gases.

Once preheated, the charge falls into the EAF where it is continuously melted by the liquid steel. This permits constant flat bath operation, a key advance over conventional batch processes where scrap is melted directly by the electric arc.

Gases from the EAF are then sent to a plant fume cleaning system where undesirable pollutants are burned in a residuals combustion chamber without consuming fuel.

Consteel^® main advantages are:
- Reduced electrical energy consumption
- Power rate reductions: less power to contract for the same level of production reduces your
  unit cost of kilowatt hours. Consteel also dramatically reduces electrical disturbances on
  the network
- Reduced electrode consumption and electrode breakage
- Less oxygen and no burner fuel consumption
- Increased scrap yield: 1 to 2 percent higher
- 30% less dust to dispose of
- Less manpower required in the melt shop
