Problem
Metallurgical processes such as electric arc furnace (EAF) melting and ladle furnace (LF) treatment operate at extreme temperatures, making it difficult to obtain accurate, real‑time data on hot‑spot temperatures, slag composition, and other critical variables. Without continuous insight, operators cannot optimally control power levels, temperature, or slag chemistry, leading to reduced product quality, higher energy consumption, and increased safety risks.
Solution
Luxmet delivers specialized measurement systems that capture high‑temperature data directly from the process environment and present it in real time for immediate decision‑making. ArcSpec monitors EAF hot‑spot temperatures and provides analysis tools to adjust electrode power and other process parameters. TempSpec offers continuous temperature tracking for a range of demanding metallurgical operations, enabling tighter process control. ArcSpecLF extends this capability to ladle furnaces, using optical emission spectroscopy (OES) to measure both molten slag temperature and composition, allowing operators to fine‑tune adjustments on‑the‑fly. All solutions integrate with plant control systems, delivering actionable insights that improve product consistency, reduce energy use, and enhance safety.
Target Audience
Primary customers are steel producers and metallurgical plants that operate electric arc furnaces, ladle furnaces, and other high‑temperature processes requiring precise temperature and composition control.
