Resumo

SMS Siemag has continued its development of the electric arc furnace: the novel combination using tried-and-tested components from the submerged-arc furnace (SAF) save energy and production costs and improve productivity by up to 30 percent. The Arccess® steady EAF (S/EAF®) is a stationary electric arc furnace that is designed for the use of DRI, HBI, hot metal and steel scrap. The key component that ensures continuous operation is the electrode holding and slipping device. It allows the S/EAF to operate continuously, with energy consumption reduced to a minimum level. Continuous flat-bath operation using foamy slag reinforces this effect. Against the background of rising energy and production costs, a profitable electric steel production requires innovative solutions that are flexible to use and reduce life cycle costs. At SMS Siemag, submerged-arc furnaces and electric arc furnaces are products with a more than 100-year old tradition. With references for electric arc furnaces and electric smelting furnaces for the international ferro-alloy and non-ferrous metals industry, SMS Siemag is the world leading supplier. This know-how is now combined in the S/EAF.
