Concept

• Ultra clean steel production

• Clean shut-off of the gate in less
  than one second

• Significant reduction of carry over slag

• Decrease of aluminium consumption
  for deoxidation and Al alloying and
  other metallurgical advantages

• No first and no final running slag due
  to clean shut-off

• Integrated early slag detection

• Sturdy construction with few
  mechanical parts

• Integrated cooling system for tension
  elements

Assembly

• Self locking system of refractory plates

• Mortarless tight joint between adapter
  block and bottom plate

Mounting and Drive

• Tap Hole Gate Unit exchange in less
  than 15‑minutes

• Mounting and dismounting with
  a four axis manipulator

• Setting of the Tap Hole Gate
  and the adapter block with the same
  manipulator

• Drive system: pneumatic or hydraulic
