The scope of supply covers the converter vessels, the trunnion rings, the proven lamella-type vessel suspension system, the tilt drives, the X-Pact electrical and automation systems for the tilt drives, and supervision of erection and commissioning.
SMS group will ship the trunnion rings of 9-m-diameter each in one piece to the customer’s site in Taiwan, considerably reducing the overall installation time.
The maintenance-free lamella-type converter suspension system ensures unrestrained arrangement of the converter vessel in the trunnion ring. Thanks to the use of the lamella suspension system, a larger air gap between the vessel and the trunnion ring and high-quality, and highstrength fine-grained structural steels, the converters can cope ideally with the alternating thermal stress during operation.
The X-Pact electrical and automation systems for the converter tilt drives feature frequency-controlled three-phase drive technology which guarantees not only a high level of plant availability but also safe and reliable positioning of the converter vessels under continually changing dynamic loads.
