Abstract

Blast furnace process is the basic process of pig iron production. This kind of device has a very large volume, so every day it produces significant quantities of the products. Therefore, the effectiveness of this device should be tested regularly. It helps to find causes lowering the effectiveness and optimize the production process. The main goal of the paper is the presentation of results of Overall Equipment Effectiveness of blast furnace conducted in one of Polish steelworks and the causes lowering the value of effectiveness. The analysis covers the period of one calendar year.

Keywords: Blast furnace, pig iron, effectiveness, OEE
