Metallurgical Components

Luvata supplies a wide range of products and services to the metallurgical industry. Our casting moulds, cooling elements, copper elements for inductor furnaces, copper staves, sand cast cooling elements and slag runners are widely used in furnaces and smelters for iron and steel production. We also supply anode hanger bars for use in aluminium smelting furnaces.

We also have many customers involved in refining copper, nickel and zinc. For them we are able to supply bus bar systems, casting moulds, cooling elements, copper elements for inductor furnaces, sand cast cooling elements, slag runners and tankhouse accessories.

Anode Hanger Bars for Aluminium Smelters

Luvata produces a variety of copper alloy Anode Hanger Bars. These range from the simple extruded bars to the complete ready-to-use hanger bars.

Copper alloys are ideal for hanger bars as they have high electrical conductivity. This means that a higher current density can be used from the same cross section as conventional aluminium Hanger Bars. We can recommend the best alloy to suit any specific production need.

Bus Bar Systems

Luvata’s bus bars are supplied as part of a full package. From the engineering through the production to delivery and installation, we are involved every step of the way. This gives our customers the benefit of improved scheduling and cost control, as well as continuing the close collaboration which has become our hallmark.

Among the many advantages we offer is a unique computer simulation program, which calculates the temperature increase inside the bus bar. We use this program from project initiation to find the optimum solution for any new bus bar project.

Casting Moulds

Luvata produces a range of casting moulds. These include:

• Moulds for continuous casting of steel, copper and other metals
  We supply moulds for slab, bloom and billet casting, together with a range of Cr and Ni coatings.
• Plate Moulds for Continuous Casting
  Moulds are made from silver-bearing copper based on Luvata's oxygen-free copper (CuAg-P) to provide outstanding conductivity and strength. A protective chromium or nickel plating can be applied to increase the wear resistance of the plate surface. Our flexible manufacturing process and our high-quality tubular and plate moulds ensure trouble-free continuous casting for our customers.
• Mono-Block Moulds For Continuous Casting
  We make mono-block moulds according to the customer’s own drawings. The moulds are machined from a forged block for continuous casting of slabs and blooms of steel or silver-bearing copper (CuAg-P).

Cooling Elements & Copper Staves

Luvata has been manufacturing copper cooling elements for flash smelting furnaces for over 25 years and copper cooling elements (copper staves) for blast furnaces since 1997. We also manufacture cooling elements based on customer drawings for applications requiring high thermal conductivity.

We provide cooling elements for flash smelters, blast furnaces, electrical arc furnaces, lead furnaces, ferro alloy furnaces and silicon furnaces. We operate in close collaboration with the world’s leading engineering companies, Outotec and Paul Wurth.

Luvata produces also sand casted cooling elements, using pure cathodes.

Copper Components for Inductor Furnaces

Luvata produces copper coils and Cu-templates for inductor furnaces.

Slag Runners

Luvata produces a range of copper slag runners for blast furnaces, flash smelters and electric arc furnaces. They include water-cooled bended slag runners and three-part water-cooled slag runners. Our slag runners are delivered pre-assembled.

Tankhouse Accessories

Luvata has worked in collaboration with a number of electrolysis facilities worldwide to develop a comprehensive range of products suitable for equipping new installations and modernising existing ones.

The following products are supplied ready for immediate installation:

• main bus bars 
• intermediate bus bars 
• cell bus bars 
• droppers 
• flexible joints 
• hanger bars 
• short-circuit frames 
• short-circuit switches (together with Watteredge Inc.)

We also provide turnkey solutions, for which we will supervise installation ourselves.

By working closely together with leading equipment suppliers and engineering offices we also have the capability to supply the electrical supply system for the entire plant.
