Abstract

THE GERMAN COMPANY KUTTNER TDCO HAS DEVELOPED A BELL-LESS SYSTEM FOR BLAST FURNACES. IN TOTAL FOUR OF THESE SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AT THE BLAST FURNACES AT VOESTALPINE/AUSTRIA BETWEEN 2009 AND 2014. AFTER FIVE YEARS OF OPERATION THE SYSTEMS HAVE PROVEN THEIR ADVANTAGES IN OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE, DURABILITY AND MAINTENANCE FRIENDLINESS. THE EXPERIENCES GAINED DURING THIS OPERATION PERIOD ALLOWED VOESTALPINE AND KUTTNER TDCO TO IMPLEMENT FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS AT THE DESIGN OF EQUIPMENT. THESE IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED DURING REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES OF THE CHUTES IN THE KUTTNER TDCO WORKSHOP IN GERMANY.
