Iron Casting Transfer and cast your metal in the most efficient way

Safe and efficient transfer of liquid iron from the melt shop to the casting line is important to achieve high-quality casting products. Properly conditioned iron in well heated transfer ladles plays an important role in achieving this target. Oxyfuel-heated ladles offer an efficient way of maintaining transfer heat.

Application technologies for iron casting
OXYGON® 400

OXYGON® 400 is a ladle preheating system that utilises flameless oxyfuel combustion to heat transfer and holding vessels for hot, liquid metal between melting and casting operations.

Highlights

  • Shorter heating times and greater capacity
  • Up to 55% reduction in fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions
  • Extended vessel refractory lining life

OXYGON® XL

Who is it for?
OXYGON® XL uses the same technology as OXYGON® 400 but is equipped with a 1.5 MW burner suitable for vessels with capacities between 30 and 150 tonnes.

How does it work?
An OXYGON® XL plug&play system is mounted in the vessel lid and the accompanying control system automatically controls the combustion processes, seamlessly switching between traditional oxyfuel and complete flameless combustion.

Benefits of OXYGON® XL
  • Ensured and consistent ladle temperature
  • Maximising refractory lifetime through controlled combustion
  • Increased energy efficiency and lower emissions
  • Reduced number of ladles in operation
