Look to Kuttner for metallurgical engineering, cupola modeling, and comprehensive process engineering to meet your unique cupola melting system and environmental compliance needs. Our melt center experience includes a wide range of products and solutions to benefit your operation.
Why Cupola Process Consulting
When your cupola was designed, it ran on very specific design criteria that may have changed, over time. Production capacity might have gone up or down, charge material might have changed, and coke quality can be variable new supply chains.
​
All that may have shifted your previously optimized operation to a less efficient and more costly operation than originally anticipated.
