Trailer

Real are location, terrain and buildings (official NRW elevation data, OpenStreetMap). The plant is a simplified interpretation; quantities, processes and times are model values. With your data, the model shows your site and your processes.

Henrichshütte in the Ruhr valley near Hattingen stands as a block model on its real terrain: blast furnace 3 with four hot-blast stoves, blower house, skip hoist and tapping, plus steelworks, rolling mill, forge and works station. A foreman runs the furnace's four stations – blower, hot-blast stoves, burden and tapping –, the pig iron runs into torpedo cars, and locomotives take it to the steelworks, around the clock in three shifts.

Five controls steer the whole ironworks: investment (one to three blast furnaces), workforce, supply with ore and coke trains, quality and market. Output, stockpile and daily result show at once what follows. You see why a change at the top of the furnace only arrives at the bottom about a minute later, and why an ironworks only pays off with volume.

Real are location, terrain and buildings from official NRW elevation data and OpenStreetMap. The plant in the centre is a simplified interpretation of our own: quantities, processes and times are model values. The page is for museums and exhibitions, schools and universities, industrial heritage and local history.

Henrichshütte: The ironworks in the Ruhr valley at Hattingen: furnace 3 turns ore, coke and lime into pig iron, the steelworks, rolling mill and forge make plates and forgings from it.

Furnace 3

02

Furnace 3

Furnace 3 – Coke, ore and lime go in at the top, hot wind blows in at the bottom. The layers sink; where it is hot enough the ore melts. Iron and slag collect in the hearth. What you change at the top arrives below only after about a minute.

Tapping

03

Tapping

Tapping – the taphole is open, pig iron runs down the runner into the torpedo car, the slag into the slag car.

Five levers, one works

04

Five levers, one works

Full investment – three blast furnaces side by side: steel is a volume business, the works only pay with two furnaces.

Films from the model

  • Above Henrichshütte

    A flight across the whole site: low approach, furnace 3 with its hot-blast stoves, then across the works to the long shot – everything moving, with the sound of the works.

  • How a blast furnace runs

    The foreman runs the blast furnace: blowers, hot-blast stoves and burden – at the end the taphole opens and pig iron runs into the torpedo car.

  • A working day in time-lapse

    The works clock runs from six to six: early, late and night shift, sirens at shift change, trains and people at the gate – in time-lapse.

  • A works grows

    Investment step by step: new blast furnaces appear, the workforce grows with them, then more supply and a boom in the market.

  • Bottleneck – the works respond

    First materials run short and the plant only runs in part, then the market takes too little and the stockpile fills up – in the boom the works recover.

  • Using the software

    With the full interface: blast furnace with help text, hot-blast stoves, tapping and burden, then the works with five levers – slump and boom.

Facilities and areas in the model

  • Blast furnace

    Coke, ore and lime go in at the top, hot wind blows in at the bottom. The layers sink; where it is hot enough the ore melts. Iron and slag collect in the hearth. What you change at the top arrives below only after about a minute.

  • Blower house

    The blower house produced the wind for the furnace (here: the real building from the elevation model). More wind means more iron – but also a faster sinking column and faster cooling stoves.

  • Hot-blast stoves

    Stoves store heat: heating, they burn top gas from the furnace; blowing, they hand the heat to the wind and cool down. One blows, the others heat – switch in time.

  • Burden · skip hoist

    The skip hoist carries the charges up from the bunkers. Ore per coke decides the heat: more coke warms, more ore brings iron. Lime binds the gangue into slag.

  • Tapping · tracks

    When tapping, iron runs through the runner into the torpedo car, slag into the slag car. The tilting runner switches between track A and B – one full car can leave while the other fills.

  • Steelworks

    In the steelworks the pig iron becomes steel with scrap – about 1.2 t of steel from one tonne of pig iron.

  • Rolling mill

    Rolling mill and forge turn the steel into heavy plates and forgings for ships, bridges and tanks.

  • Forge

    Heavy forgings are made from the works’ steel in the forge.

  • Works station

    Ore, coke and lime arrive at the works station; slabs also pile up here when more steel is made than sold.

  • Slag heap

    The slag goes to the heap; as granulated slag it ends up in cement and road building.

  • Hattingen

    Hattingen right next door – houses, streets and trees from official elevation data and OpenStreetMap.

  • Workshop

    Fitters, electricians and welders keep the works running. When something breaks they go there – more maintenance means more of them.

  • Laboratory

    Every tap sends a sample to the lab: carbon, sulphur, silicon. Only then does the steelworks know what it gets.

  • Canteen

    Hot meals for thousands. Busiest at shift change and in the breaks.

  • Gate · offices

    Gatekeepers, wages office, management. The shifts come through the gate; foremen and engineers walk into the works from here.

  • Works fire brigade

    Works fire brigade and first aid: patrols at the furnace and cast house, always on call where there is heat and gas.

  • Apprentice workshop

    Apprentices learn filing, welding and turning – tomorrow’s fitters. In between they help in the workshop.

When things get tight

05

When things get tight

Slab yard filling up – more is made than sold; when there is no room left the surplus goes at a 40 % discount.

Medium long shot

06

Medium long shot

Medium long shot – furnace 3 with its hot-blast stoves: glow at the taphole, smoke above the furnace top.

Processes in the model

From ore to plate

  1. 01ore, coke and lime arrive by rail at the burden bunker
  2. 02the skip hoist carries them up as charges
  3. 03hot blast from the stoves makes the coke burn, the ore melts
  4. 04at tapping the pig iron runs into the torpedo cars
  5. 05the steelworks turns it into steel
  6. 06rolling mill and forge make heavy plates and forgings

Tapping (station 4)

  1. 01enough pig iron in the hearth
  2. 02open the taphole
  3. 03pig iron runs down the runner into the car on track A
  4. 04shortly before it is full, swing the tilting runner to track B
  5. 05the full car leaves, an empty one follows
  6. 06plug the taphole

Switching the hot-blast stoves (station 2)

  1. 01one stove blows, the others heat with top gas
  2. 02the blowing stove cools down
  3. 03switch a hot one to blowing
  4. 04then switch the cold one to heating

Expansion

  1. 01investment: a second and third blast furnace west of furnace 3
  2. 02more people for the furnaces
  3. 03more ore and coke trains
  4. 04only with volume do the works pay

Bottleneck and recovery

  1. 01supply short – the store empties
  2. 02materials missing – the plants only run in part
  3. 03market in a slump – the stockpile grows until the fire sale
  4. 04boom – the stockpile empties, the result rises

What the model can be used for

  • Museum and exhibition

    The blast furnace explains itself on the plant: blower, hot-blast stoves, burden and tapping one after the other, with one sentence per step. On a big screen the demonstration also runs without anyone at the controls.

    适用对象museums, visitor centres, exhibitions

  • School and university

    How do ore, coke and limestone become pig iron, and pig iron become steel? The stations can be shown one by one, and terms like throat, burden and slag sit where they belong.

    适用对象schools, universities, vocational training

  • Industrial heritage and local history

    Ironworks and town lie side by side on the real terrain. You see how the works railway, the tracks and the change of shifts shaped the Ruhr valley.

    适用对象industrial heritage, city marketing, local history societies

  • Understanding operations

    Investment, workforce, supply, quality and market act at once on output, stockpile and result. It becomes visible why a new plant without people and sales loses money.

    适用对象economics teaching, further training

Hot-blast stoves

07

Hot-blast stoves

Hot-blast stoves – one blows hot air into the furnace while the others reheat with top gas; the foreman switches in time.

The whole software

08

The whole software

Running the works – five levers: investment, workforce, supply, quality and market; the chain shows at once what follows.

What you can change

Controls

  • Investment: Number of blast furnaces (1 to 3): more money builds more, less shuts them down; without more people they only run in part.
  • Workforce: Enough people for all blast furnaces – output rises, and so does success. Too many people cost wages without more output.
  • Supply: More material arrives – the plant no longer has to wait. Levels short, normal and double; supply security costs money.
  • Quality: More quality means less scrap and fewer breakdowns but costs testing and maintenance (levels low, normal, high).
  • Market: Slump, normal or boom. In a slump more is made than sold: the stockpile grows and success drops. In a boom the market takes more: the stockpile empties and success rises.

Disruptions

  • Too few people: Workers are missing, part of the plant stands still.
  • Material missing: Supply is not enough; once the store is empty the plants only run in part (message: “Parts store empty – supply is short”).
  • Too much built: More is made than the market takes: the stockpile grows; when it is full the surplus goes at a 40 % discount (message: “Stockpile full – fire sale at a discount”).
  • Market wants more: Demand is greater than the works can make; once the stockpile is empty orders are lost (message: “Stockpile empty – orders are lost”).
  • Safety (manual operation, without the foreman): The hearth ran full and the safety cut the wind – tap more often or put more people on each shift.
  • Furnace cold (manual operation, without the foreman): Furnace cooling. Some iron was off-spec – too cold or too much slag: lower ore per coke (more coke) and switch stoves in time.
  • Breakdown: Low maintenance: more people in production, but something breaks about every 5 hours – blower, loco, rolling line.

What the model brings

  • 01

    The real terrain as a stage

    Ironworks, tracks and town stand on terrain from official elevation data. You show the site as it lies, not as a diagram.

  • 02

    One furnace, step by step

    The four stations of the blast furnace can be shown one by one, or the foreman runs them himself. You understand the process before you operate it.

  • 03

    Disruptions without damage

    Material runs short, the stockpile fills up, a blower fails. You see where it gets tight first, and set it back.

  • 04

    For big screens and the browser

    Runs in the browser and on large projections, with a demonstration that starts without anyone at the controls.

  • Henrichshütte: Die Hütte im Ruhrtal bei Hattingen: Hochofen 3 macht aus Erz, Koks und Kalk Roheisen, Stahlwerk, Walzwerk und Schmiede machen daraus Bleche und Schmiedestücke.
    Henrichshütte: The ironworks in the Ruhr valley at Hattingen: furnace 3 turns ore, coke and lime into pig iron, the steelworks, rolling mill and forge make plates and forgings from it.
  • Henrichshütte von der anderen Seite – derselbe Ort in der Nachmittagssonne aus Südwesten, mit langen Schatten der Hallen und Gerüste.

  • Gicht – der Schrägaufzug bringt Koks, Erz und Kalk in Schichten nach oben; im Ofen sinken sie, bis das Erz schmilzt.
    Charging – the skip hoist carries coke, ore and lime up in layers; in the furnace they sink until the ore melts.
  • Winderhitzer – einer bläst heißen Wind in den Ofen, die anderen heizen mit Gichtgas wieder auf; der Meister wechselt rechtzeitig.
    Hot-blast stoves – one blows hot air into the furnace while the others reheat with top gas; the foreman switches in time.

Basis and limits

Real are the location, terrain and buildings in Hattingen (official NRW elevation data and OpenStreetMap). The plant in the middle is our own simplified interpretation: quantities, processes, times and prices are model assumptions; the economy runs in time-lapse (10 seconds are one working day). Not a simulation of real operations and no cooperation with the site.

Public sources the model is based on:

  • Website of the museum on site
  • Geobasis NRW: digital surface and terrain models DOM1/DGM1 (Data licence Germany – Zero – 2.0)
  • OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL 1.0): streets, tracks, water, land use
