  • 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.
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
Copper Bullet® Oxygen Lance Tip Sub-Assemblies
  • Our specially designed 5" and 6" Tips come in an array of lengths and hole configurations.
  • Designed for quick and safe Lance repairs.
  • Specially designed bullet configuration to resist mechanical damage.
