TN-A1 Gate
Gas-Holder System
TYK has developed a gas tank for the ladle to increase the efficiency and durability of the purging plug. This tank supplies the plug with gas during the moving times of the ladle. This prevents the plug to clog during the treatment times, easier cleaning due to no metal penetration and keeps some stirring during this periods. The result is an increased life of the plug, better restart of blowing after transport and an positive effect for the steel quality.

Prevention of clogging during treatment campaigns
Positive effect for the steel quality due to constant stirring
TYK "Flow Rate Detector“ for optimized O2 cleaning
The uncontrolled O2 cleaning of the purging plug leads often to a reduced lifetime of the plug. The use of the „Flow Rate Detector“ can prevent this. The detector indicates the worker that the sufficient flow rate is reached and the cleaning can be stopped. Through this, the lifetime of the plug can be increased significantly.
