INTERSTOP®Automation, Robotic and Digital solutions

The operation of flow control systems has so far required the physical presence of personnel on the CCM floor and in the ladle preparation area. Besides the steel-filled vessels and the exposure to thermal radiation, the working environment for the operators is, on the one hand, dangerous and, on the other hand, the physical stresses to be overcome are associated with a high level of exertion.

To overcome this, as well as to take the steel industry to a new level of stability and safety, RHI Magnesita Switzerland is continuously working on innovative automation, robotics, and digitalization solutions.


We offer

  • Increased safety at work
  • Prevention of breakthroughs by increasing process stability 
  • Reduction of production costs through constant monitoring of system and refractory condition 
  • Integration of digital solutions for better planning of maintenance

Our Automation, Robotics and Digital solutions

 


Tundish Level Control (TLC) 

This fully automatic tunidsh level control solution allows a smooth switching from Manual to Auto-Mode, offers a control software in order to minimze gate movement stroke as well as intelligen internal system failure tracking and alarm display. Further, this solution is ready to operate with an early slag detection system and comprises a fully independent operating (fail-safe) emergency close system.

Mould Level Control (MLC) 

Our fully automatic mould level control (MLC) solution with overflow protection and breakout detection for automatically close of slide gate includes a visualization system for trending, alarm messages and parameter setting. A special feature of our fully integrated INTERSTOP solution is the very high accuracy of +/- 2mm.

Ladle Preparation Area  

In particular, the robotic solution for the fully automated ladle preparation area (LPA) provides safety in terms of operator removal from liquid steel, heat dust, and time pressure, and leads to higher process stability through improved reliability of the tasks performed. In addition, there is an extension of the refractory service life, for example, due to the fact that it is no longer necessary to change the inner nozzle.

Lastly, there is the possibility of applying life prediction models to create predictive maintenance as well as reliable data collection.
