Latest Generation Sinter Process Optimization Systems

SIMETAL Sinter VAiron is an advanced process optimization system which covers the sinter production process from ore preparation in the blending yards and sinter plant up to the blast furnace. It was developed in a close cooperation between the Austrian steel producer voestalpine Stahl and the engineering and plant-building company Siemens VAI. The overall target of this system is to achieve stable process conditions at a high productivity level with a uniform sinter quality at low production costs. This is achieved through the application of a number of sophisticated tracking, diagnosis and control models and systems which are bundled within an overall expert system.
