Application of oil-free compressed air in smelting process

In the smelting and production process, compressed air serves as a key power and process medium, and its quality directly affects equipment operation stability and product quality. The oil-free compressed air output by Granklin water-lubricated single-screw air compressor plays an important role in many aspects of smelting due to its high purity and non-oil pollution. Specific applications are as follows:

1. Pneumatic control and instrument drive

The precise operation of smelting equipment (such as blast furnace tuyere control valves, converter oxygen lance positioning devices, and electric furnace tilting systems) relies on pneumatic components to drive it. Oil-free compressed air can avoid the deposition of oil in pneumatic pipelines, prevent problems such as valve jams and delayed instrument response, ensure rapid and accurate execution of control instructions, and improve the automation level and operating accuracy of the smelting process.

2. Material conveying and mixing

The transportation of smelting raw materials (such as ore, coal powder, flux) and the stirring of the molten bath are often achieved by compressed air. Oil-free compressed air avoids mixing of oil and raw materials, prevents blockage of transmission pipes or introduction of impurities during stirring, ensures accurate material ratio, promotes uniform reaction in the furnace, and improves smelting efficiency and metal recovery rate.

3. Combustion control and oxygen supply

Combustion oxygen supply for blast furnace hot stoves, converter top-blowing oxygen lances and other equipment requires a stable gas source. Oil-free compressed air ensures that oxygen purity is not affected by oil pollution, avoids incomplete combustion or unstable flame, optimizes fuel utilization, reduces energy consumption, and at the same time reduces the formation of harmful substances in flue gas, which meets environmental protection requirements.

4. Dust removal and environmental protection treatment

Smelting flue gas needs to be purified by bag dust collectors and other equipment. When oil-free compressed air is used for backblowing and dust removal, it can prevent oil stains from adhering to the dust removal bag, extend the service life of the bag, and reduce the maintenance frequency; at the same time, the pure air source ensures the backblowing effect, improves flue gas purification efficiency, and helps enterprises meet environmental protection emission standards.

Adapting advantages of Granklin air compressor

Granklin water-lubricated single-screw air compressor uses water as a medium to achieve sealing and lubrication, eliminating lubricating oil pollution from the source, and the output oil-free compressed air fully meets the high requirements of smelting for air purity. Its structure is stable and simple to maintain. It can adapt to the complex environment of high temperature and high dust in the smelting workshop for a long time, provide reliable and clean power support for enterprises, and help the smelting process operate efficiently and environmentally friendly.

Is the screw air compressor always working?

Screw air compressor does not have to work all the time, but runs and shuts down according to actual needs. The following is a detailed explanation of the working state of the screw air compressor: Working principle and characteristics Screw air compressor is a volume compressor. The working volume composed of a pair of rotors […]

Can the air compressor run 24 hours a day for a long time?

The air compressor can operate 24 hours a day, but a maintenance plan needs to be developed based on the characteristics of the model. The key is to reduce the failure rate through preventive maintenance, and at the same time combine intelligent monitoring systems to achieve condition prediction to ensure the safety and economy of continuous operation.

Is there oil in the air compressor gas

Whether there is oil in the air compressor gas mainly depends on the type and maintenance status of the air compressor. The following is a detailed analysis: 1. Air compressor type and oil content Oil-lubricated air compressor(Such as oil-cooled screw machines, piston machines) Gas may contain trace amounts of oil: Most of the oil is […]

What does air pressure of 8 kg mean

Air pressure of 8 kg means that the pressure of compressed air is 8 kg force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²), which is also equal to 0.8 megapas (MPa). In the fields of pneumatic equipment (such as pneumatic valves, pneumatic tools, etc.) and air compressors, air pressure is usually measured in units such as kilogram force […]

The greater the power of the air compressor, the greater the exhaust volume?

Yes, the greater the power of an air compressor, the greater the exhaust volume. This is because there is a positive correlation between the power of the air compressor and its exhaust volume within a certain pressure range. Power is a measure of the energy required for the air compressor to operate, which is directly […]
