Ladle metallurgy station including electrical power supply, digital electrode regulation system power conductive arms. Fume suction specially designed for emission and metallurgy control.
Ladle metallurgy stations fulfill several functions after tapping in order to prepare the melt to be processed in the Continuous Casting Machine:
- Temperature and composition homogenization
- Carburization
- Desulphurization
- Alloys addition
- Adjustment of the chemical composition
- Setting the content and shape of inclusions
- Accurate setting of the casting temperature
Simultaneously, ladle furnaces act as a buffer between EAF and CCM, thus smoothing and optimizing the process flow.

Tenova offer complete ladle furnace packages including:
- Electric power supply
- Ladles
- Ladle transfer cars
- Additives charging and injections systems
- Dedusting
- All the auxiliary equipment for the related area, e.g. the electrode make-up stations
