Superior Machine to Upgrade Nucor-Yamato's EAF

Superior’s Solutions Group will design a new charging practice to allow the furnace to operate on a single charge instead of two charges. The new project will include a new gantry system with regulation columns and guide roller mechanism, lower shell, and scrap bucket and rail car improvements. The project benefits will be lower operating costs and improved shop productivity.

Superior’s Manufacturing Group will fabricate, machine and deliver all required equipment to site.

Superior’s Field Services Group will handle the disassembly of the existing EAF including the roof; gantry superstructure and the furnace shell. They will install the tilt platform modifications; install the new furnace shell, and roof; the gantry superstructure, columns, and ancillary equipment.

The project will be reassembled on site and the installation is scheduled for the spring of 2014.
