Furnace Solution
DTE's furnace solution consists of connected stationary and fully automatic elemental analyzers and process intelligence platform, designed to streamline logistics in the casthouse production with live data, directly from liquid metal. The solution delivers immediate and precise composition information to cashthouse operators and experts via real time, in situ reference quality analysis.
The Future Of Process Control is Real-Time
DTE’s furnace solution allows customers to optimize production processes by knowing exactly what is happening in the melt with real-time furnace analysis during batching and alloying.
Furnace solution benefits of implementation
Fully Automated Analysis in situ
Direct analysis of homogenous liquid metal.
Automated sampling eliminates the need for manual sampling, increasing operator safety.
Increased Throughput
Start casting faster, every time, comfortably within specs.
Consistently better insights into kinetics and homogeneity allow for improved prediction and decision making on when the batch is ready for casting.
Avoid expensive over-processing and shorten the cycle time.
Maximize Quality
Tighten the processing specifications with more datapoints and insights.
Produce more premium products with tight specs.
Higher sampling rate enables full traceability, allowing manufacturers to direct higher-grade materials to particular usage.
Optimize Energy Efficiency
Avoid unnecessarily holding a fully loaded furnace for extended periods of time.
The metal will need to be kept in the molten state for a shorter time, minimizing the usage of electricity or natural gas that heats the furnace.
Improve Safety
Remove operators from handling molten metal samples.
Collecting molten metal samples is one of the most hazardous tasks in the plant per recorded incidents.
Reduce traffic of people in the plant by eliminating the need to transfer samples to the laboratory.
Improve Sustainability
Avoid expensive over-processing, reduce scrap and minimize rework.
Never start casting without being certain that the cast will be within specs.
