Messer North America offers a complete package of furnace atmosphere control equipment and process industrial gases which can be easily adapted to existing sintering process.

SINTERFLEX™ is a new and patented C-potential control technology developed jointly by Linde and Hoganas AB. The comprehensive solution focuses on two areas: a new furnace atmosphere to bring and keep carbon inside the sintering zone, and a measurement and monitoring system — with a newly designed oxygen probe — to control this atmosphere. As the system controls the gas composition, particularly the carbon enrichment, a healthy C-potential can be maintained, thus achieving a decarburisation-free sintering production.
