A twin ladle furnace of similar design for the precise control of the chemical composition and temperature of the liquid steel and slag.
The twin ladle furnace allows to precisely control the chemical composition and temperature of the liquid steel and slag. The ladle furnace thus satisfies an important basic requirement for further process steps aimed at producing high-quality steel grades and it also functions as a buffer for the molten metal upstream of the remaining processing stations.
