CONTINUOUS IRON PRODUCTION – LONG LIFE STAVES
Learn about failure free stave cooling technologies that let you maximize production
As a blast furnace operator, you require a consistent, reliable, predictable operation over the lifetime of the campaign without the need for intervention (unplanned maintenance / downtime). Primetals Technologies design and supply innovative stave cooling technologies to let you maximize production.
SEVEN REASONS WHY YOU NEED OUR STAVE TECHNOLOGIES
Prevents common causes of failure
Reliable operation
Prolonged campaign life
Maintenance free
Reduced operating costs
Fast payback period
Resistant to low quality burden materials

RELIABLE BLAST FURNACE OPERATIONS
Take just 2 minutes to watch this film to see how our innovations can eliminate downtime due to copper stave failure from bending or wear.
BEND-RESISTANT TECHNOLOGY
Primetals Technologies patented anti-bending solution allows the staves cooling water pipes to move during thermal expansion but prevents bending at the critical points
- Prevents against premature failure of cooling water pipe connections
- Prevents against bending of the stave corners
- Prevents against unplanned maintenance and downtime
- Increases safety (no water leaks)
- Extends campaign lifetime of the blast furnace
WEAR-RESISTANT TECHNOLOGY
Primetals Technologies patent pending wear-resistant solution self-protects the stave against abrasive wear ensuring that a protective accretion layer is always present at the hot face. Inserts that create a “stone-box” effect trapping unreduced burden materials
- Inserts encourages the formation of a protective layer that rapidly reforms
- Reduces burden velocity at the stave hot face
- Prevents against unplanned maintenance and downtime
- Inserts can be fitted to a traditional stave
- Extends campaign lifetime of the blast furnace
