Calderys showcases latest solutions at Middle East Iron & Steel 2025
Calderys laser measurement & gunning system
Our flagship demonstration at the show will be the Calderys laser measurement & gunning system — a step change in furnace maintenance that blends automation, data and precision repair:
-
Automated in-service lining monitoring: fast, non-intrusive laser scans to map lining wear.
-
Optimized gunning: robot-ready gunning recipes generated from real volumetric data.
-
Faster, safer repairs: shorter maintenance windows and improved safety for workers.
-
Proven impact: extend lining life by 15–20% and reduce maintenance time.
This system turns inspection data into an actionable maintenance plan in seconds, enabling predictive interventions that keep furnaces running longer and safer.
