QFCS - Quad Furnace Control System  

PLC based arc furnace regulation and control system  with a superimposed powerful HMI station, provides  an easy to upgrade and yet sophisticated approach to EAF optimization.   The overall system is based on the integration of various functional components, which can be applied individually to a partial upgrade situation or supplied as a complete system for a new operating environment.

System components:

• Electrode regulation

• Furnace motion controls  

• Harmonic analysis

• Process and production monitoring

• Engineering, production and performance reports

Expected benefits:

• Lower energy consumption (KWHR/TON)

• Faster melting cycle

• Reduced electrode consumption (including less breakage)

• Reduced refractory consumption

• Enhanced operator's understanding of process performance parameters through performance indicators
