CONVERTER WEIGHING

The steel industry is characterized by tough environments and harsh conditions, which requires robust equipment that can sustain the challenging environment and still deliver highly accurate and reliable results. BLH Nobel is a well-known designer and manufacturer of durable weighing systems for the steel industry since the 1960s. You can rely on us to deliver a smart process weighing solution for your particular demand.

Optimizing LD Converter Refurbishment

Basic oxygen steel production uses Link-Donawitz (LD) converters.  An LD converter has a thick lining of refractory brick. Brick and tap holes are worn and typically require replacement in intervals of 8-10 weeks.  Material sticking to the wall, increasing the thickness of the brick  can lead to over cooking, causing an unscheduled stop in production and high cost. BLH Nobel offers a smart and durable solution for optimizing the refurbishment interval and avoid unexpected overcooking events. BLH’s KIMD load cell can handle the heavy weight of any converter and provide very high and stable weight measurement accuracy, giving our customers an optimized control of the converter condition and allow the furnace body to be refurbished before it boils over.

Unique KIS Load Cell:

The KIS load cell is capable to withstand dynamic forces, high lateral forces, shear stress and bending effect. Its smart features make it resistant to high overload forces no matter the direction. This unique construction makes the scale stronger, more accurate and globally less expensive than the standard U shape one. Thanks to the smart design of our KIS 1 load cells, complicated mechanical arrangements such as rods are avoided in the coil weighing system. BLH Nobel can provide OIML applications with KIS 11 load cell and our unique G5 PM with OIML R76 approval
