Submerged Arc Furnaces when run continuously accumulate Slag + fused Slag & Alloy + fused RM & Alloy as solidified pockets in the Furnace hearth resulting lowering of Effective Furnace volume, lesser production, jamming, electrode breakages, increased specific power.
Superheat 20, an unique chemical addresses this issue & is very effective to clean off these deposits, restore the Furnace Effective volume by over 90%, without the need of stopping & manual cleaning the furnace.
Superheat 20, is a flux neutral & RM neutral chemical complex, & in general effective within the first 36 hours of application.
The solidified slag pockets melt off & tapped as extra slag volume in each tapping.
The usage depends upon the accumulation, however the furnace is mostly clean within 3 weeks to 4 weeks of application.
When the Slag volume becomes normal, it can be understood that the furnace cleaning is completed.
Benefits after Slag pocket clearance :
Electrodes achieve similar lengths
Increase in Effective furnace hearth volume
Slight increase in Production
Slightly lower specific power
Save time & huge costs saved when compared to Manual Cleaning
