User-friendly design for low operational costs:

The new INTERSTOP® ladle gate Type SX is a high-performance ladle gate system focused on optimising total cost of ownership (TCO) as well as safe and easy operation. The advanced refractory concept is leading to improved efficiency. The smart handling characteristics allow for easy and safe operation and are incorporated within a maintenance-friendly design.

The new development has a positive impact on the overall operating costs and increases the safety standard during handling and operation.

Easy handling with “Open-Check” feature:

System reliability and availability are the most important objectives in operating a ladle slide gate system. When this is achieved, improved safety is the consequence. In addition to this, optimising operating costs and the focus to improve the TCO is a continuing demand.

The new “open-check” feature of the INTERSTOP® SX gate system results in optimising the specific operating costs without increasing the risk for failure.

Benefit of the “Open-Check”:

The purpose of the “open-check” procedure is to increase the plate lifetime by minimizing the risk for infiltration.

safety for ladle area

The “open-check” increases the safety standard, as it supports the preparation workers in the decision to proceed with one additional heat. The plate condition can be properly assessed by having a direct view on the refractory plate surfaces.
