Vesuvius Total Tundish Technology provides significant cost and energy savings.

The main objectives of this steelmaker in INDIA were to reduce the refractory consumption and minimize steel skull losses by increasing the length of the casting sequence (i.e. longer tundish life).

Vesuvius Experts did a complete audit of the tundish area and offered a Vesuvius Tundish Design Package.

This proposal was a unique combination of design solutions and of technical products that included a Turbostop impact pad system, Tundish Gas Diffuser, newly designed Ladle Shroud, Stopper and Submerged Entry Nozzle.

After implementation, the project not only achieved the main objectives, but also improved steel quality with further positive consequences. Combined, as per our estimation, these changes helped this customer save over 2 M € per year in operating costs, and to reduce the CO₂ emissions by over 26,000 tons per year.
