Converter
|
| Discription / Operation
|
|
The converter tilts in two directions :
- on one side to receive the hot metal, - on the other side
to tap the iron into a teeming ladle (on a ladle car). The
cable situated underneath the converter supplies power to
the positioning sensors.
|
| Type Of Cables Used |
: High temperature |
| Former Technology |
: Rubber cable with an asbestos tape. |
| Constraints |
: There is no major risk of thermal destruction.
HIGH TEMP, is mainly used to guarantee lifetime
and security of the equipment.

Teeming Ladel
|
| Discription / Operation
|
|
The teeming ladle transports the molten
steel from the converter to the revolving door near to the
continuous casting. The cable supplies power the motor opening
and closing the ladle gate which opens the way for the steel
to the tundish.
|
| Type Of Cables Used |
: High temperature |
| Constraints |
: Thermal scattering through the ladle
walls.
: Molten steel spillage.
: High ambiant, stifling temperature : between 300 and 400°C

Overhead Crane - Ladel Transfer
|
| Discription / Operation
|
|
The overhead crane transports a steel or
cast iron ladle. Sensors transmit weight information box,
and type (2) from the ladle to the transition box, and on
cable (1) from the transition box to a measurement device
situated on the winding torque motor. When emptying the ladle,
flames are rising surrounding the compensator and burning
the first meters of the winding cable.
|
| Type Of Cables Used |
: High temperature |
| Lifetime |
: (1) = 3 TO 6 months
|
| Former Technology |
: The lifetime of the former compensator cable
type was 4 months. |
| Constraints |
: Rising of flames
: Radiating heat on the compensator (2).
: Flame, winding-up/unwinding. |
| Quantity |
: (2) = 55 m X 8 sensors |

Ladel Car
|
| Discription / Operation
|
|
The ladle car transports the molten steel
from the electric furnace to the refining station. Here the
steel will be transformed to different qyality types.
|
| Type Of Cables Used |
: High temperature |
| Constraints |
: The channel in which the cable is installed
is exposed to the molten steel when the ladle accidently
overflows during transport. The cable supplies power to 4
weight sensors situated on each of the car wheels
transmitting information on ladle weight and contents.
