Pre-heating Application
Uninterrupted and superior quality LPG best suited for your industry
THE ESTEEMED CUSTOMER
Our customer is a leading organization of Stainless Steel Ingots manufacturing from S.S. scrap. The customer used electricity for scrap preheating, and we have converted the preheating application which was on electricity to LPG.
Customer Product Process Flow:
Sorting of scrap- SS scrap sorting is done based on the type, and size and they are cut into smaller sizes and filled in the trays for pre-heating.
Pre-heating of scrap- At 700C temperature, moisture, and impurities like Zinc, Aluminum and Lead are removed. The heating cycle time varies from 40-90 minutes.
Melting- In the induction furnace, the temperature ranges from 1400 to 1530C. The SS ingots are rolled.
THE CHALLENGES:
They were not very confident using LPG due to the above challenges.
SUPERGAS APPROACH:
We got their reference from one of our partners for their upcoming plant to be commissioned in late 2022. While getting the data for consumption, we understood their existing electricity usage, cost, maintenance, breakdown etc. We captured the opportunity and diverted our discussion to the conversion of the existing plant.
SOLUTION OFFERED:
We discussed LPG’s tangible and intangible benefits over electricity and offered 8X450 Maxima installation to take care of their consumption. The customer was impressed by the approach of SUPERGAS, our technical knowledge, dedicated team for technical as well as customer service and SUPERGAS’s products and services. Our offer covered all the challenges they were facing, i.e., fewer nos. of cylinders to handle, direct supply and no dealer/franchisee involved, placement of order through IVRS, and cost saving by using LPG over electricity.
