Abstract:
The SMS group is a global player in plant engineering and construction including services for the steel and nonferrous metals processing industry. The SMS group is globally operating with more than 10.000 employees and has an annual turnover of 3,5 billion euros.
SMS has developed and engineered the unique vessel-exchange-concept with significant advantages in CAPEX. High utilization of the BOF equipment leads to significantly higher productivity compared to a standard BOF solution.
PT Krakatau-Posco Company (PTKP), Indonesia, and SMS group have successfully put into operation the efficient converter-vessel-changing concept comprising a 300 ton change-vessel converter (BOF), a changing car as well as highly effective environmental technology for the converter shop.
The converter-vessel-changing concept provides for two blowing stands with permanently installed trunnion rings, exchangeable converter vessels and the vessel exchange and relining equipment
The plant is in operation since 2013 and fulfills the demanding requirements of PTKP.
