Other applications for thermal lances
Within the foundry industry, cutting and demolition operations are inevitable. There are countless processes where a small misstep can cause considerable delays in the overall operation. These situations are diverse and many of them come without warning, from a malfunction in the acid plant in a copper smelter to a pig iron cutting in a blast furnace, the bosses are forced to stop production for up to several days in some cases.
In the case of maintenance operations and cutting of accretions and blockages, the speed of the operation becomes fundamental, increasing the days of detention in function of the days that the maintenance or cutting operation takes. This is why it is essential to have fast cutting tools for this type of situation.
Trefimet has a wide range of thermal lance models for this task, where the configuration of the lance and the diameter to be used is chosen according to the size of the accretion to be cut, the type of material and the type of operation to be carried out.
The biggest advantage over traditional lances is the speed with which they perform this task and the ease with which they can melt even the hardest materials thermally speaking, allowing operators to manoeuvre easily in the cut and evacuate the molten material more easily to continue with the operation.
In addition to offering specialised thermal lances for cutting, Trefimet offers training services and on-site support for this type of operation, as well as offering the best treatment when supplying its products, with the ideal being to maintain a back-up stock for unforeseen cases where these operations are required.
