Mechanical vacuum pumps

Challenges

• Vacuum treatment of liquid steel on industrial scale in ladles from 20 up to 350 t

• Resulting in huge volumetric suction flow rates (up to more than 1,000,000 m³/h)

Solution

• Required suction capacity is reliably provided by mechanical pumps

• Well suited for steel degassing (RH/VD/VOD) units

Technical advantages

• Reducing energy consumption

• Reducing operational costs
