Overview

Steel smelters rely on high-temperature oxygen lance systems to refine molten metal efficiently and safely. These systems require hose assemblies capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, high pressure, and mechanical stress during operation. Pacific Hoseflex was engaged to design and manufacture Vitalflex® stainless steel metallic hoses specifically engineered for oxygen lance applications in a major steel production facility.
