For EAF & induction furnace steelmakers
Your furnace is quietly melting money.
See exactly where — per tonne, per heat.
The landed price on your scrap invoice is not what that scrap costs you. After yield loss, power and electrodes, every material has a true melting cost — and this tool finds the cheapest charge mix that still respects your metallurgical limits.
- Runs inside your mix limits
- Answers in seconds, not meetings
- Excel in, Excel out
Illustrative plant: 10,000 t/month across three steel grades, at its own prices and mix limits. Figures are modelled, not a customer case.
Why it matters
The invoice says one thing.
The furnace pays another.
On paper, alloy scrap costs ₹20,000 a tonne MORE than shredded. In the furnace — after yield, power, electrodes and the alloy you recover back — it costs ₹35,000 a tonne LESS. Buy on landed price alone and you charge it last, every single heat.
Without the tool
Buying on landed price
- Yield loss hidden in the slag
- Extra kWh hidden in the power bill
- Alloy you already paid for, melted away unpriced
With the tool
Buying on true melting cost
- Every material priced on what it truly costs to melt
- Power and electrode factors, from your own kWh/t and kg/t
- Alloy you recover back, credited per tonne
How it works
If your team can fill an Excel sheet,
they can run this.
Type in your numbers
Your energy price, electrode price and each material's landed cost and yield — the same blue cells your team fills today.
Set your limits
Min %, max % and current mix for every material, per steel grade. Your metallurgy stays in charge — the tool never breaks your caps.
Read the mix
Pick a grade, get the least-cost charge mix and the saving per tonne, per month and per year. Change a price, get the new answer instantly.
Inside the tool
Built like plant software.
Feels like a good spreadsheet.
True melting cost, per material
What every material really costs your furnace once yield, power, electrodes and recovered alloy are all accounted for.
Least-cost mix engine
The cheapest charge your metallurgy allows — recalculated the moment a price moves. No spreadsheets, no solver to babysit.
Your limits, enforced
Min/max caps per material, per steel grade — with live warnings when a mix can't reach 100%.
Excel in, Excel out
Import the workbook your team already uses. Export a re-importable workbook or a board-ready PDF report.
Your data stays yours
Per-company isolation, role-based access — admins edit, operators view — and the costing engine never leaves the server.
Saved runs
Snapshot every optimisation. Walk into Monday's review with the trend, not an argument.
“Every heat charged without this number is a small, invisible donation to nobody. At ₹1.58 Cr a month on the reference plant, the only expensive thing about this tool is the month you don't use it.”
