Full of energy. Operating a large energy consumer like an EAF demands careful planning of the electrical energy distribution using compensation devices. Our engineers help you with expert layout plans and support you in all the relevant areas, up to obtaining permission from local authorities.

Efficient. What’s so special about steelmaking with X-Pact®? Energy and material management exactly geared to the smelting process make the difference. Quite simply, our systems increase your productivity. That’s because they ensure your plant achieves close tolerances in the analysis. They also act to sustain the right final temperature and the planned tapping weight. Furthermore, they monitor the treatment duration. Our range of solutions covers all process stages – from cost- and energy-efficient loading of the scrap baskets to controlling the smelting process including calculations of additives or fluxes, to tapping the liquid steel.
