KT2000 GEN2:
AI-Powered Slag Detection
for Real-Time Yield Control
Smarter Slag Detection. Real-Time Yield Control.
The KT2000 GEN2 turns slag detection into an active yield optimization tool—helping operators balance clean-steel recovery, tundish protection, and cost efficiency at every heat. Built on advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning, it transforms detection from a reactive safeguard into a predictive control variable.
AI + Machine Learning:
The New Standard in Ladle Slag Detection
Instead of reacting to slag after contamination occurs, GEN2 predicts and prevents it—ensuring precision, consistency, and confidence heat after heat.
The Problem:
Inconsistent Detection and Lost Yield
Traditional electromagnetic and early acoustic systems often struggled in noisy, high-interference environments.
They were reactive, not preventive—detecting slag only after it entered the tundish. The result?
- Unreliable readings from plant vibration and hydraulic noise
- False alarms or missed events caused by signal drift
- Inconsistent ladle closure decisions that cost operators valuable clean steel
The Solution:
KT2000 GEN2
The KT2000 GEN2 eliminates these long-standing challenges through machine learning that continuously adapts to plant conditions.
It’s both noise-proof and ladle weight-smart—ensuring accuracy in every environment.
- Plant Noise Immunity – Machine-learning filters distinguish real slag signatures from vibration, hydraulic, and electrical noise—virtually eliminating false alarms.
2. Weight Independence – Adaptive correction algorithms maintain accuracy even when scale data drifts or becomes unreliable.
The result: clear, repeatable detection at the exact moment it matters most—during the final seconds of the pour.
