Meltshop electrical & automation

From the electric arc furnace to the billet, we design the power, control and automation systems of the meltshop, build and test them in our own facility and commission them on site. The aim is consistent, safe operation with lower energy, electrode and refractory consumption.

01Electric arc furnace (EAF)

Furnace performance starts with keeping the electrodes in the right position. We bring electrode regulation, furnace motions and auxiliary systems into one control structure. The operator follows the whole furnace from the main pulpit and HMI screens.

Our scope

Electrode and arc regulation
Furnace motions: roof lift and swing, furnace tilting, electrode arms
Control of hydraulic and cooling water systems
MCC panels, drives, PLC/HMI, main pulpit
Cabling and network engineering

Power quality: an arc furnace causes flicker and harmonics on the grid. We address compensation and harmonic filtering at the start of the project.

Power distribution & compensation

02Ladle furnace (LF) and alloy addition

The ladle furnace brings temperature and chemistry to casting conditions. We automate electrode regulation, furnace motions and the alloy addition system together.

Our scope

Electrode regulation
Furnace motions: roof, electrode arms, ladle car
Alloy addition: bunkers, weighing and feeding control
MCC, PLC/HMI and control desk

03Continuous caster (CCM)

Product quality in continuous casting depends on stable mould level and casting speed. We supply automation that follows each strand separately, and the torch cutting system at the strand exit.

Our scope

Mould level control
Casting speed and withdrawal-straightener drives per strand
Torch cutting automation; delivered on a 6-strand caster
Billet transfer and discharge
MCC, drives, PLC/HMI

04Billet

Every cast billet is recorded in the Level 2 system with its heat number and strand, so traceability continues into the rolling mill.

Level 1 and Level 2

Fume extraction ducts and steel structure

Auxiliary plants

Fume treatment: fan drives, dampers and filter cleaning control
Water treatment: pump stations, level and flow control, cooling circuits

Scope

Across all areas

Layer	What we deliver
Power	LV distribution panels, MCCs, AC/DC drives, compensation
Level 1	Siemens PLC and HMI, main pulpits, field networks
Level 2	Heat and billet tracking, production reports, delay management, KPIs
Services	Engineering, in-house manufacturing and FAT, site supervision, commissioning

Project types

Greenfield, revamp or a single area

Greenfield

Full electrical and automation scope from design to commissioning.

Revamp

Bringing a meltshop back into operation after years idle, with equipment damaged or missing.

Partial modernisation

Renewal of one area such as the ladle furnace or caster, integrated with the existing system.
