The CG commitment to quality does not end when our products leave the plant. The fact is, our technical service specialists are continually working with customers to monitor electrode performance on the furnace, and to integrate their findings back into our production system for even better quality, consistency, performance and cost-effectiveness. We also provide a full range of technical support services that are designed to improve furnace performance and reduce conversion costs. Among these is our furnace optimization tool we call ArchiTech™. This one-of-a-kind software package accurately monitors all electrical parameters of electric arc furnaces and captures all necessary data for complete performance analysis, evaluation and - when necessary - remedial action. ArchiTech™ means furnace operations can be quickly adjusted for maximum electrical efficiency and production rates, and that means measurable savings in energy, graphite, and refractory consumption.

With the ArchiTech™ system, EAF operators can:
- Maximize energy input by determining effectiveness of power profile
- Maximize productivity by recharging at the optimal time
- Identify and solve regulation problems
- Determine electrical balance and solve arc flare problems
- Determine arc stability and effectiveness of foamy slag practice
- Trend more than 75 furnace parameters - including those affecting electrode consumption

Our commitment to quality and service are unmatched in this industry. The ArchiTech™ System is another key differentiator for C/G Electrodes.
