Berry Metal Company's partnership with Switzerland-based Marti-Technology AG offers solutions to steel makers, using either electric arc furnaces or basic oxygen furnaces, which face increasing pressure to increase performance and productivity while lowering costs.

Marti-Technology has provided Temperature/Sampling Manipulators to many steelmaking operations
  • Applications include the EAF, LMF, LF, Tundish, RH Degasser, Desulph Stations, and Torpedo Cars.
  • The Marti Temperature/Sampling Manipulators, available in single or dual Lance systems, can be specially engineered to meet your specific application
  • The dual Lance system has individually driven Lances for obtaining temperature/oxygen/sampling and other applications.
  • Working parts are designed for convenient operation and maintenance, allowing for ease in inspection, lubrication, repairs and replacements.
  • Fully reproducible immersion depths can be achieved providing consistent measurements.
  • Safety precautions for operators are guaranteed.
  • The TSM facilitates fast disposable sensor/Lance change for easy handling and repair.
  • The TSM is available with a stroke length of up to 6.5m (21ft), larger strokes upon request.
  • An optional slagbreaker feature is available in applications dealing with solid slag cover.
  • The RTSM automatically takes temperatures/samples at the push of a button.
  • The RTSM utilizes an automatic magazine that can hold a day's shift of probes.
  • It completely automates the process of taking disposable sensors, and features complete automatic loading and unpacking facilities.
  • Multiple steps in the production process are eliminated, saving critical time.
  • The RTSM is another major step in automating the steel making process.
  • The Remote Media Coupling System, used on ladle cars and vacuum tank degassers, automatically connects the gas hoses at the LMF to the porous plug located on the ladle.
    • The RMC provides greater safety for operators and improved performance for steelmaking customers.
    • Marti's engineered RMC system provides the most rapid connection possible to minimize the gas purging interruption, and avoids blockage of the plugs.
    • The proprietary "break-away" bolt design protects expensive machinery in case of severe misalignment and forced rapid departure of the ladle.
    • An exclusive horizontal pneumatic cylinder actuation permits precise timing of actual connection and start of gas flow.
    • Spring-loaded suspension of the cylinder and the large coupling tolerance compensates for small errors in ladle positioning and location.
    • The system is designed to allow acceptable distance from the source of potentially harmful heat and pollution.
    • The funnels are welded to the sidewall of the ladles, and require no heat-sensitive seals. Marti's connecting nozzle can withstand very high heat and pressure.
    • Complete equipment enclosures provide protection from dirt and contamination, as well as possible overspills.
    • The RMC is designed to work with either one or two independent stirring gases through one connection rod.
    • The RMC is heavy-duty and mill-worthy, and eliminates operator fatigue, enhancing consistency and repeatability.
    • Adequate safe distance for operating personnel is provided.
