AMepa products

The Electromagnetic Slag Detection system (ESD) is crucial for ensuring the slag-free transfer of molten steel, enhancing both the yield and quality of the final product. Positioned at the bottom of a ladle, this system detects the presence of slag by monitoring voltage changes in the secondary coil caused by eddy currents induced in the outflowing molten steel. With over 30 years of experience and 300 installations supporting around 3600 ladles, the ESD 300 and ESD 400 models are a testament to AMEPA's pioneering technology in slag detection. This system automatically initiates the closure of the slide-gate upon slag detection, offering a balance between yield and quality optimization. It features advanced digital transmission for improved sensitivity and reliability, with the capability for remote maintenance, enhancing operational efficiency. The dual-channel technology further distinguishes AMEPA, allowing for detection of initial slag particles to preserve steel purity. Comprehensive reporting and smart analysis tools provide users with valuable insights for process optimization and maintenance planning.

The RSD 300 measuring system is specifically designed for use in tundishes on continuous casting lines in steelworks to monitor low steel levels. It is used where the existing tundish scale is inadequate for accurately measuring the remaining steel quantity.

AMEPA's Thermographic Slag Detection System, TSD 2.0, enhances steel purity by identifying slag incursions during the transfer of molten steel, utilizing thermographic technology. Unlike traditional sensor-based methods, TSD 2.0 employs an infrared camera to detect thermal radiation differences between steel and slag in the higher infrared range, enabling slag detection without vessel installation and reducing maintenance costs. Integrated algorithms ensure the system's reliability against process variances like temperature changes and stream geometry alterations. It's compatible with slag retention systems and used to automate closures following slag detection. The process data integrates into a database for analysis and quality improvement, providing insights into slag quantities and production details. The TSD 2.0 application continuously adapts to dynamic conditions, ensuring optimal detection and process automation, evaluating thermal emissions in the long-wave infrared range to minimize interference from environmental particles.
