The SAVEWAY® system can be used wherever ceramic refractory material is used and a temperature gradient exists. The main application area is the measurement of remaining lining thickness on coreless induction furnaces.
Refractory Measurement Principle:
-
Refractory material measured by electrode panel sensors displaying remaining wall thickness
-
Measurement dependent on the decrease in electrical resistance of refractory material with increase in temperature
-
As wear develops, molten metal penetrates towards the sensors and the temperature of the adjacent refractory material rises.
Benefits:
-
Significantly improves safety for operating staff and plant, because furnace damage and molten breakouts can be safely avoided
-
Optimize operating costs by reducing the costs of maintenance and production losses
-
Increase Equipment up-time based on the risk-free increase of Service life and predictability of relining
-
Targeted melting process improvement by optimizing the sinter heat
