Descripción de los trabajos
NECESIDAD DE ARRANCAR UN ALTO HORNO EN UNA FACTORÍA DE ASTURIAS CON LANZA TÉRMICA.

IN ORDER TO INTRODUCE THE LANCE INSIDE THE FURNACE, IT IS NECESSARY TO MAKE A PERFORATION WITH THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS:
- DIAMETER: 150 mm
- TOTAL LENGTH: 4,500 mm
- INCLINATION: 15º.
- MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE: 900º C – 1.000º C


THERMAL LANCE It consists of a nozzle to which is adapted, on one side an equipment for feeding with oxygen (comburent), on the other, a steel tube of greater or lesser length that houses in its interior steel rods (fuel).
The tip of the tube is heated with charcoal or blowtorch, the oxygen supply begins and when it reaches the other end it starts its combustion reaction with the tube and rods.


DRILLING The factors that have a determining influence on the success or failure of the drilling to be carried out are the following:
- Working with the right cutting tool, that is, with the physical-mechanical characteristics of the bit body, as well as finding the right proportion in the design of the mixture in the segment.
- Design and calibrate the device in charge of calibrating the mixture of the different cooling agents.
DRILLING AND FURNACE START-UP




Complejidad de los trabajos
PLANNING When carrying out this type of work for a factory, it is essential to ensure that there will be no failures, since the factory’s production depends on the success of the programmed work.
In order to be certain that there would be no failure, several pieces of equipment, both machines and consumables, were moved to the job site.
The uncertainty was greater in this case, since this type of work had never been carried out with such innovative machinery. EXECUTION…as the saying goes “all’s well that begins well that ends well” With this statement in mind, the first phase of this work consists of designing and placing a frame on the furnace wall.
It will have two important functions: to fix the machine firmly to the furnace body and to direct the drill at the proper inclination to the hottest part of the furnace, the core.
Once the equipment is positioned, the actual drilling work begins.
The drilling progress will not be continuous since it will be necessary to check at different intervals the exact temperature of the drilled zone.
The distance between the intervals will vary depending on the area in which we are (it will be smaller the closer we are to the core, since the temperature will be much higher than in the vicinity of the outer wall). These measurements will condition the programming of the device that is responsible for mixing the cooling compound and will determine at what point the work will be completed.
Elementos innovadores
The work shown in this presentation is full of innovative elements, which have to do with both the process of execution of the works and the materials used in them.
It has been necessary a complex R&D process carried out in collaboration with our suppliers, both in terms of machinery and consumables, to find the right formula that would allow us to drill in such an aggressive environment.
Another key point that had to be solved in order to carry out the task entrusted to us was the development of the cooling compound, which was finally solved by successfully combining different chemical elements.
Especificaciones de calidad
Since our inception, concern for people has been an integral part of our production process, as we demand the highest quality in our activity.
Thus, we apply our quality, prevention and environmental policy to all our activities.
This commitment is embodied in our management system based on ISO 9001.
