ELBY*
Benefits of ELBY* ladle bottom system
- Maximize ladle yield → achieve outstanding cost savings
- Minimize ladle slag carryover → obtain improved quality and yield
ELBY*: Customised precast ladle bottom systems that incorporate specifically designed channels, terraces and impact zones to alter the phenomenon of vortexing during the ladle draining sequence.

Engineered materials
ELBY* utilizes NUMAX* refractory technology which maximizes wear resistance in the impact zone and channels to maintain the profile of the yield enhancing geometry.
Expertise
ELBY* is designed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) which simulates the drainage phenomenon that occurs in individual ladle to custom design the ELBY* system.
Equipment
Infrared Thermal Imaging Measurement system has been developed to be used with ELBY* to monitor the amount of steel exiting the ladle.
