Are you tired of the frequent replacement of oxygen lances in your steel production facility? Picture this: you come to work one morning and find how time-consuming it is to change lance pipes so frequently for oxygen blowing. Not only does this disrupt your production performance, but it also drives up costs. However, the real challenge also lies in not being able to get the right pipe size for your specific needs.
Now, there’s an answer that could change everything—a new expanded range of pipe sizes from Daiwa CA Lance. In the blog post below, we’ll explore how this new size range can help reduce downtime, increase efficiency, and ultimately save costs.
The lack of appropriate size options for oxygen lance pipes in steel manufacturing poses significant challenges, impacting efficiency and operational costs. Without the right-sized pipes, steel plants encounter several issues:
To keep pace with the evolving industry requirements, we introduced 3 additional sizes to Daiwa CA Lance product lineup, which are OD 1/4", 3/8", and 2". Whether your facility needs a smaller, more precise pipe or a larger, more robust solution, we can now offers greater versatility to match any production demand.
The updated size options are as follows:
By increasing the available sizes from 5 to 8, Daiwa is catering to a broader spectrum of industrial applications. This expansion means that whether you are working with large EAF (Electric Arc Furnaces) or smaller, more controlled environments, Daiwa CA Lance has a pipe that fits your exact needs.
The introduction of new sizes provides clear benefits to manufacturers, especially in terms of operational flexibility. The newly added sizes, including OD 2", are particularly suited for high-capacity furnaces that demand greater insulation and durability. These pipes are built to handle intense heat and oxidation, making them ideal for larger systems where heat management is critical.
On the other hand, the smaller sizes such as OD 1/4" and 3/8" are perfect for more specialized, precision-driven operations. These sizes allow for better control of oxygen flow, helping manufacturers fine-tune their processes to achieve optimal results. Whether you’re running large or small-scale operations, the diversity of sizes in the Daiwa CA Lance product line ensures that you can find the right pipe to suit your equipment and production requirements.
Take, for example, a large steel plant using a large EAF that required frequent replacements of their oxygen lance pipes due to rapid degradation from intense heat. By switching to Daiwa CA Lance's new OD 2” size, they were able to reduce pipe consumption significantly, with each pipe lasting twice as long as their previous solution. This resulted in a reduction in pipe replacement costs and a boost in production efficiency due to less downtime.
Similarly, smaller plants focusing on precision steelwork have found the smaller sizes, like OD 1/4", to be a game-changer. The enhanced control provided by these pipes allowed them to fine-tune their processes, reducing oxygen waste and improving the quality of their end product.
The effectiveness of Daiwa CA Lance has been validated by both research and customer feedback. A recent test showed that facilities using Daiwa CA Lance saw an average increase in pipe lifespan of up to 50%, alongside a marked improvement in overall production efficiency.
Customers have reported not only significant cost savings from reduced pipe consumption but also enhanced production consistency, thanks to fewer interruptions for pipe replacements.
The combination of durable materials, the advanced calorizing technology, and a diverse size range makes Daiwa CA Lance the go-to solution for any steel production facility looking to optimize their oxygen lance systems.
With its newly expanded size range, Daiwa CA Lance is more equipped than ever to meet the diverse needs of steel manufacturers worldwide. Whether you are looking to improve efficiency in a large EAF or need precise control in a smaller operation, Daiwa CA Lance has the right pipe for the job.
The benefits are clear: longer pipe lifespans, reduced downtime, cost savings, and enhanced production efficiency. Daiwa’s continuous commitment to innovation means that their products are not only meeting today’s challenges but also setting the standard for the future.
