Plant broadens product portfolio with sophisticated steel castings for energy and mechanical engineering industries
Electrically driven vacuum pumps make steam consumption superfluous
A vacuum oxygen decarburization (VOD) plant from Siemens Metals Technologies with a capacity of 50 metric tons commenced operation at voestalpine Giesserei Linz GmbH. The Austrian company is thereby adding to its equipment for secondary metallurgical treatment of steel castings for sophisticated applications in the energy and mechanical engineering industries. The plant features electrically driven mechanical vacuum pumps instead of steam injectors and therefore does not require any steam generator.
