Ladle Thermal Status Tracking

LadleHeat keeps track of all your ladles in circulation and calculates the thermal status at all times. The LadleHeat technological package supplies vital ladle information to your operators  to a precise temperature control on every heat.

Why LadleHeat?

• Do you experience poor temperature control after tapping of your furnace?
• Do you feel you have uncontrolled variations in the ladle thermal status?
• Do you need a method to keep track of ladle and ladle fleet thermal status?

Key features

LadleHeat calculates the thermal status of all ladles in circulation – individually. The calculation keeps track of the ladle position and treatment. A thermal vision system identifies the empty ladles when in view and performs a surface temperature measurement in order to update the calculation.

LadleHeat presents the thermal status for any arbitrary ladle of choice at any time, either as a call from a plant production system or by an operator interaction.

LadleHeat includes several features for data mining and thermal evaluation of the ladle individuals or the complete ladle fleet. Predefined reports can be generated on demand for regular follow-up of key indicators.

LadleHeat is prepared for a full integration into existing plant systems (Level 1/2/3).
