Metals Manufacturing

Simulate and analyze the flow of raw materials to the blast furnace at your desk top, then optimize and improve the real thing for greater efficiency, better control of metal composition and increased productivity. 

Successful blast furnace operation hinges on the reliability of your bulk materials supply system, the efficient operation of your charging equipment, and the control of burden layering. 

DEM Solutions’ EDEM® technology visualizes and analyzes bulk materials flow at the particle level, allowing engineers to clearly understand the flow of raw materials through each segment of your operation, providing the opportunity to:

• Pin-point flow problems in bulk solids handling equipment
• Virtually examine the operation of charging devices
• Optimize materials distribution and dispersal
• Develop virtual models of burden layering
• Develop virtual models of particle flow
• Design new equipment using EDEM virtual prototypes
• Predict areas of excessive equipment wear
