Turnkey Metals Automation - Arcelor Mittal

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document outlines the development and implementation of a new automated laboratory at Arcelor Mittal Ruhrort, designed by PANalytical B.V. This laboratory replaces an older system that operated for over 20 years, enhancing steel analysis processes through advanced automation.

Specifications: The laboratory is a turnkey project, including the building, automation systems, and air tube transportation connecting two factories. It features a 300 m2 facility with integrated systems for sample cooling, milling, and analysis. The setup includes 7 air tube lines with a total length of 2000 meters and a transport speed of 20 m/s.

Procedures: The laboratory automates the treatment of raw iron, steel, and slag samples. It integrates sample cooling, milling, and surface inspection, with data managed by the SPARCS LIMS package. This system ensures contamination-free production and collection of chips for combustion-based analysis.

Standards and Communication: All analyzers, both automated and non-automated, are connected to the SPARCS LIMS system for efficient data storage, reporting, and communication. The results are communicated to the Level 2 systems of the steel plant, ensuring seamless integration with production control.

Recomendations: The laboratory is designed to increase productivity and reduce lab process cycle times by leveraging technology. It is customized based on customer needs and built in collaboration with the customer, ensuring optimal functionality and support.

Key Features: The laboratory includes a cell-structured system for versatility, automatic rerouting of samples, and fully automated control. It also features automatic sample production for off-line combustion analyzers and built-in redundancy for reliability.

Conclusion: Since 1994, PANalytical has completed over 90 automation projects worldwide, demonstrating expertise in creating efficient and reliable laboratory solutions tailored to customer requirements.
