I don't think cleaning is needed. They just replace worn refractory tiles and other wear parts. These furnaces are meant to run non stop for months 24/7 and they actually need less maintenance the less time they are allowed to cool down.
@@ph11p3540 That makes sense. Always wondered if those plants stopped and started. Seems like it would take a considerable amount of energy to spool back up.
This type of system is designed exactly to be turned on and off repeatedly It's not a blast furnace Here every time you make a casting you have to heat the scrap metal However, most gears are protected from dirt or so large that they are not affected
I vaguely understood what was going on with the steel making process, because my father was a steel maker back in the early 1970's. But for the most of the people, and even me, would have appreciated a narration and/or text to explain what's going on. The video has it's minor faults, but the lack of explanation really took in what could have been an awesome video into a 'yeah, whatever'. 😶😶😶😶😶😶

This is the type of EAF that Port Talbot is gettin'
Sehr schon. Preheating the charge is nicely designed in.
Would it have been too much to ask for narration?
I wonder how often you have to clean all that gear
No point in cleaning anything in an environment like that. It'll all be grey in a few months.
