Elkem Island

Customer: Elkem Island 

Project: Smelter / heavy industry

Problem/need:: The large electrodes used in production’s melting process needed preheating.

Solution: We designed and produced a portable framework (skid), in which a duct-adapted fan, electric hot air coil and silencer were mounted. There was a need for three such skids per electrode, and we also delivered the process control for these.

Details::

• El. Data: 150kW / 400V (Per skid)
• Weight: 940kg / skid
• Operating temp: 20 – 120 °C
• Materials: Stainless steel AISI 304, Acid-resistant steel AISI 316L and aluminium
• Process control: Yes. Frequency converters and thyristors.
