Ferro Alloys Solution

Advance Crane weigher for Molten metal weighing:

ACI offers Integral type Crane weigher, an innovative system for measuring molten metal at high temperature. Tapping weight can be accurately measured and recorded using Crane weigher. It provides the necessary data for further analysis and reports.

Features:

• Measures and displays weight accurately on a Large display
• System operates using Mains power supply
• Wireless remote for calibration and data capturing
• Wireless communication for PC interface
• Options available for Target weight display, etc

Benefits:

• Measuring and storing Tapping weight along with Date/Time/Heat no., gives Molten metal productivity data
• Measured data can be stored in PC, to provide Traceability
  
  

Advantages over conventional type Crane weigher:

• Crane lifting height is fully available
• No need for frequent charging
• Complete electronics and sensor are safely mounted on top of the crane
• Weight is clearly visible as the display is mounted in a convenient position
• Protects the crane from Overload

Automatic Raw material batching and feeding:

ACI offers complete solution for Silo loading process, major raw material batching, minor raw material batching and feeding to furnace hoppers. The furnace tapping output is also weighed using crane weigher to generate process yield report.

Features:

• Provision for Silo selection, loading and monitoring Silo level
• Continuous automatic batching of major and minor raw materials for feeding into furnace
• Batches delivered to Furnace hoppers and discharged into furnace based on actual requirement
• Every tapping is weighed using crane weigher and data it captured in central computer.
• Complete monitoring and control from a central control room
• All data is captured and reports are generated

Benefits:

• Accurate batching
• Furnace stability is maintained by feeding batch material at the right zones
• Real-time monitoring helps in improving production efficiency
• Raw material consumption data is available for monitoring inventory management
• Data/Reports readily available for sharing through email,etc

ARC furnace control system

Furnace control system from ACI, measures all electrical parameters of the furnace and automatically maintains the set energy requirement of the melting process. The electrode levels are maintained at appropriate levels to ensure efficient and stable operation of the furnace.

Features:

• All electrical parameters are measured and and graphical trend is displayed
• Electrode level is also measured and maintained within the set limits
• Constant power or energy is maintained for optimal melting
• Provision given for Furnace slipping, Tap changing, Electrode cooling system monitoring, etc
• Control system based on PLC / Scada

Benefits:

• Consistent furnace operation without human intervention
• Automatic operation ensures all parameters are maintained withing tolerance, ensuring safety
• All parameter data available for report generation and further analysis
• Big savings in raw material and energy consumption

Weighbridge automation:

By integrating the data from Weigh bridge to the Batching system, raw material stock monitoring is simplified. Also the raw material grading process is integrated to identify the quality of raw material received.

Features:

• Weighment transaction software captures raw material receipts data and shares it with the automation database
• Weighing systems in grading areas are integrated to record weight before and after grading
• Raw material loading into silos and subsequent consumption are all tracked and provided in the form of reports

Benefits:

• Easily track current raw material stock and take necessary action
• Raw material quality is easily identified
