Unleash cutting edge technology for steel slab monitoring
Steel slabs and billets are crucial to the industry, serving as the foundational material to produce high-quality, durable and versatile steel products. At Selmatec, we want to support your manufacturing process, not only with top notch devices, but also specialized strategies that will significantly reduce the chance of faulty final products.
Advanced devices are not enough: Optimize your solution with this strategy
In the steel industry, temperature control is critical for achieving desired properties. Our Endurance Series and MI3 pyrometers became customer favourites for heavy-duty purposes, thanks to their unparalleled accessibility without sacrificing accuracy. Hence, these devices are ideal to set up near the target slab, which remains dangerously hot as it travels.
What improves your monitoring even further is the careful placement of these devices to analyse top, sides and front of the slab simultaneously, which ensures that the slab is homogeneously heated. The data acquired can be merged to create better understanding of temperature fluctuations across the entire body, allowing you to observe mistakes that can potentially be caused by undetected equipment malfunction. Additionally, this data helps to optimize quench zones at later stages, allowing you to maximize working time for superior billet production.
We also recommend supporting this strategy with our MP300 Line Scanner. By covering a line rather than a point, it becomes ideal to monitor the upper area of one or multiple slabs moving simultaneously. Therefore, real-time temperature profiling becomes even more versatile and easier for complex plants.
Support your devices in challenging environments
Our sturdy devices can be equipped with heavy-duty cooling housing with air or water purge, ensuring precise measurements in extremely dangerous environments. Operating up to 250°C, the air purging system acts as an additional measure to maintain clean optics, guaranteeing accurate temperature measurements, even in dusty areas.
Nevertheless, we invite you to explore with us the possibilities for business. We take pride in providing highly customised strategies according to your specific needs. Contact our experts and discover how you can bring your production to new heights!
