Knowing what counts
 Home  Products & Service  Steel  Reduction technology 

Theory and practice. Lots of suppliers know all about the theory of metallurgy. But we are the only ones with 100 years of practical experience. This expertise fills one of the industry’s most extensive databases. And, by evaluating this knowledge, we know how to design processes so they are most cost-effective for you. Included among our pioneering achievements is the innovative SAF Submerged Arc Furnace technology largely developed by us. Today, some 500 installed plants prove the enormous capability of this technology. That is reflected in ferroalloys, nonferrous metals, pig iron and special applications – our plant range covers solutions for around 50 products.

Effects and efficiency. What makes our plant solutions stand out are huge versatility, high availability as well as low investment and operating costs. Equally important to us is effective environment protection using gas purification, dedusting and water treatment.
