Berry Metal Company is
the world’s largest Oxygen Lance designer and builder, and the
No. 1 value-added Lance technology supplier in North America. |
|
|
Steelmakers cite the
following advantages of Berry Metal Company Lances: |
|
|
- Safety of design with water-cooled
cast copper Lance Tips.
- Non-consumable, reusable Lances that deliver long service
life and improve overall refining performance.
- Low maintenance costs through replaceable Tip Sub-Assemblies
using standard welding practice.
- Fast repair capability, easy Tip design change, all internal
Lance seals, plus interchangeable parts.
- Immediate engineering and technical support, rated state-of-the-art
worldwide for Lances and
furnace practices.
- Capabilities for post combustion as well as lime, graphite
and special purpose Lance Tips.
- Research and development to provide answers for extended
Lance life.
NEXTip™
- The next generation in Lance Tips
- New engineered Lance Tip with optimized water chambers
- Longer Tip life than standard cast and forged Tips
- Patent Pending
- Optional with SRP™ design
Nozzle Advancements w/SRP™Design
- Lower oxygen consumption per ton
- Increased oxygen flow rate through the Lance
- Lower Slag FeO levels
- Quicker ignition
- Deeper bath penetration and better mixing
Camera Lances (see video)
- Real-time color video provides pulpit operator with monitoring capabilities of the vacuum degassing vessel during all phases of the process, from vacuum-on to oxygen blowing to alloy additions.
- Video imagery can also be collected during vessel pre-heating.
- Tip2 uses a miniature (1" diameter) color video camera located inside a specially designed Berry Metal Lance Tip.
- See Product Brochure.

Forged Lance Tip Sub-Assemblies |
|
|
- Our patented, specially
designed Tips come in an array of sizes and hole configurations.
- Proven design with a forged copper Tip to provide maximum
life.
- Designed for quick and safe Lance repairs.
- Specially designed water passages to allow for ideal water
velocities and improved cooling dynamics to provide optimal
heat transfer and maximum life.
- Engineered oxygen nozzles to provide desired bath penetration
and coverage.
- Patent No. 6,217,824
- Optional w/SRP™ design

Single and Double
Flow Post Combustion Lances |
|
|
 |
|
- This state-of-the-art design allows steelmakers to maximize
the heat energy in the furnace.
- It also is used as a maintenance tool to reduce and even
eliminate Lance build-up or skulls as well as reduce build-up
in the furnace mouth and cone areas.
- The Double Flow Lance design has two oxygen control systems
that permit independent control of the secondary oxygen
for the most efficient combustion of CO to CO2.
- The Single Flow Lance design "splits" a percentage
of the main oxygen for the post combustion oxygen and can
be easily retrofitted into an existing BOF Oxygen Lance.
- Allows for increased scrap consumption permitting greater
flexibility in scrap-to-hot-metal ratios.
- Faster heat times from the increased heat generation
created by "post-combusting" CO to CO2.

Deskulling Lance Tips |
|
|
- The patented Berry Metal
design Deskulling Tip allows steelmakers the ability to deskull
or "clean" their vessel.
- Various configurations and hole sizes can be implemented.
- The Deskulling Tip can be manufactured to fit any style
Oxygen Lance.
- New multi-row, multi-angled Deskulling Tips are available.
- Patents No. 4,230,274 and 4,322,033
