Copper Staves for Blast Furnaces

The conditions in blast furnaces are very demanding, and therefore our specialist knowledge and experience are invaluable. Luvata has been manufacturing components for blast furnaces since 1997. We work closely with the world’s leading engineering companies and are constantly seeking out new solutions to help them improve efficiency, increase productivity, and optimize material usage.

Superior Conductivity

Copper, with its high conductivity, is an ideal material for staves. At Luvata, we have created a unique manufacturing process using a continuous casting process to produce cooling channels in casted copper slabs. This innovative process results in thinner stave designs, reducing weight and material costs while providing greater surface area for enhanced efficiency and increased furnace volume.

Manufacturing Locations

Innovative Manufacturing Technologies

Luvata has mastered two processes for manufacturing copper staves. The traditional method involves creating round cooling channels, while the more innovative method features oval-shaped cooling channels. These oval channels result in thinner staves, reducing the amount of copper used and making production more cost-effective. Moreover, the increased surface area of the oval channels enhances efficiency, providing greater furnace volume.

Luvata’s manufacturing process is fully integrated, from the delivery of pure cathodes to the production of the final product. We are confident that our quality is second-to-none, ensuring that our copper staves meet the highest standards for blast furnace applications.

Customized Solutions

We also offer plate coolers, an important part of our product offering related to blast furnaces. Luvata is one of the few producers who make drilled staves from rolled copper. Our advantages lie in the quality of the copper, advanced manufacturing technologies, and the ability to produce products of any size according to customer specifications. We are very experienced in working with engineering offices and can produce customized products exactly according to customer drawings, while also offering our expertise to plan and produce the best available solutions.
