Iron and Steel Industry

Filter, fan, ductwork and expansion joint solutions for high-temperature dust in melting, casting, rolling, slag and material transfer lines. Dust loading, operating temperature, maintenance access and emission targets at each process point determine the product selection.

Filter, fan, filter bag, filter cage and auxiliary equipment selection by process

In iron and steel plants, melting fumes, hot metal oxide, slag, and mill scale cannot be handled with the same system approach. Extraction hoods, ductwork, baghouse filters, process air equipment, compensators, and discharge equipment are evaluated together based on process temperature and fume load.

Process filtration, fan, and equipment scope for Iron & Steel Industry

Process-based system approach

The filter housing, fan, ductwork, filter element, pulse-jet system and discharge/conveying equipment are not independent of one another; they are evaluated as components of the same operating point.

Information clarified before quoting

  • Flow rate and fume peaks: Furnace cycle, lid/charging events and simultaneous extraction points
  • Gas temperature: Continuous/peak temperature and spark behavior
  • Dust composition: Metal oxide, carbon, slag and oily fume
  • System pressure: Hood, ductwork, damper and filter ΔP
  • Discharge: Hopper, rotary valve, screw conveyor and container layout

Equipment groups used in this industry

Furnace ID fan

High-flow, high-pressure duty in the furnace's primary/secondary extraction system.

Booster air equipment

Meets system pressure requirements in long ductwork and central baghouse lines.

Slag dedusting fan

Wear-protected operation for crushing-screening and transfer dust.

Local fume extraction fan

Zone-based extraction at ladle, grinding and shot-blasting points.

Product families we offer for Iron & Steel Industry

High-flow baghouse filter

Modular baghouse for furnace and central fume collection systems.

High-temperature filter bags

Aramid, P84, PTFE or suitably surface-treated media selection.

Filter cages

Silicone/cataphoresis-coated or stainless, venturi-compatible filter cage.

Cyclone separator and spark pre-separation

Reducing coarse hot particles before the main filter.

Process fans and dampers

Fan, damper and vibration control matched to the flow-pressure operating point.

Expansion joint, rotary valve and screw conveyor

Combined solution for hot-duct expansion and filter hopper discharge.

How do we determine capacity and technical specifications?

Exact capacity is not set by a catalog name; it is determined by process flow rate, system pressure, temperature, material/dust behavior and discharge continuity.

Site risks

Issues we specifically check during quoting and site surveys

These are not success percentages; they are risks that must be verified on site to select the right filter, fan and auxiliary equipment.

01

Fume escape during furnace opening

02

Short bag life and hot-particle damage

03

Fan vibration / high energy

04

Rapid wear from slag dust
