The UK-based plantmaker Primetals Technologies has announced that it has supplied a new tilting drive for the basic oxygen furnace (BOF) No. 3-2 located at South Korean steelmaker POSCO's Pohang plant.
The new equipment, which has been put into operation, will allow the South Korean steelmaker to reduce maintenance and increase the lifetime of the BOF.

The upgrade to the BOF is part of POSCO's ongoing efforts to modernize its steelmaking facilities and improve its production efficiency. The company has been investing heavily in new technologies and equipment to enhance its competitiveness in the global steel market.
The new tilting drive from Primetals Technologies is expected to contribute to POSCO's goal of producing high-quality steel products while minimizing environmental impact. By improving the reliability and efficiency of its BOF, POSCO can reduce energy consumption and emissions.
This collaboration between POSCO and Primetals Technologies highlights the growing importance of technology and innovation in the steel industry. As the industry faces increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint and improve sustainability, investments in new equipment and technologies are becoming essential.
