More steel with less energy

Get the best out of your Electric Arc and Ladle Furnaces

Control your EAF process with real-time data

Luxmet’s unique EAF control technology will let you see into the light. Gain real-time information and control your electric arc furnace with more accuracy than ever before. Know exactly what is happening inside the electric arc furnace and make better decisions in process control.

Optimize the Electric Arc Furnace process

An Electric Arc Furnace generates huge amounts of light from several sources. The arc, flames, and hot slag inside the furnace all emit light. ArcSpec measures these light sources in real-time with Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES). Light’s spectrum gives information about the melting progression and source of the light.

ArcSpec then further analyses this information into control signals. The signals are then sent to the furnace control system to make the necessary changes to optimize the process. When to start the different phases of the process and how to control the process parameters.

Increased visibility and optimization reduces the overall process time and improves energy efficiency.

More control means more benefits

Real-time measuring of EAF enables a more optimized process. Improved energy efficiency and reduced wear of equipment lead to significant cost savings. In addition, faster tap-to-tap times increase your EAF’s production capacity.
