Spray nozzles for the steel making process
Ikeuchi provides a number of solutions for the steel making industry
Spray nozzle solutions for the steel industry
With the increasing regulations for emissions control in iron and steel making, it has become necessary to implement new solutions in all parts of the process chain. Ikeuchi offers a number of solutions in steel manufacturing from secondary cooling on CCM to gas cooling and dust suppression.
Highlights
- Secondary cooling
- Flue-gas cooling
- High precision spraying
- Dust suppression
- High wear resistance
Improve the steel making process with precision spraying
Secondary cooling on CMM
For the secondary cooling process on the CMM, a strong impact force is needed to break through the boiling surface. To cool down the steel slabs, it requires an even (uniform) spray distribution with as high impact as possible to ensure a smooth surface texture. Ikeuchi offers DOVEA pneumatic spray nozzle. It can generate a large range of spray capacity without changing the spray angle.
By controlling the spray angle and distribution, it is possible to produce different types of steel on the same CMM without changing the nozzle. Just adapt the spray capacity to the steel’s characteristics. This allows to reduce maintenance time and stock arrangements. DOVEA has a unique design with a less clogging structure. This ensures a uniform cooling performance and an increased lifetime value, compared to conventional models.
We also provide a dual nozzle solution (hydraulic + air with check valve) for higher energy efficiency. Check out our dual solutions below: VVP+AS and DDRP+AS
Flue-gas cooling
Cooling of high temperature flue gas, such as sintering exhaust, requires spray control and droplet diameters that enable complete evaporation. Ikeuchi uses CFD simulation when selecting the nozzles and the control system to ensure the complete evaporation of the water sprayed from our cooling nozzles.
We can perform a variety of measurements and simulations to assist you in choosing the correct nozzle. Ikeuchi’s GSIM II series can be used for flue-gas cooling. It is a pneumatic spray nozzle with a fine-fog spray of 50µm.
Dust suppression
Dust suppression is a crucial aspect of environmental management in steel production. The processes involved in steel manufacturing generate significant amounts of dust and particles, which can have adverse effects on air quality, worker health, and production equipment. Ikeuchi offers several types of spray nozzles equipment to suppress dust. Our GSIM II series can be used for dust suppression around exit of rolling mill to prevent particle contamination on the end-product.
