Precision Melt Optimization
OptiCharge™ is the only charge mix optimizer that explicitly handles scrap chemistry uncertainty and variation, delivering the cheapest, safe charge recipe every heat.
Every foundry faces scrap with fluctuating chemistry, over-alloying to stay safe, high pig iron usage, and off-spec heats and trimming. Traditional charge calculators assume perfect scrap data, but real scrap is never perfect.
OptiCharge™ optimizes scrap, returns, pig iron, and alloy additions together, minimizing total melt cost per heat while ensuring all chemistry targets are met safely. It predicts the expected final chemistry and calculates exact alloy requirements with built-in safety buffers.
Traditional foundry charge calculators assume perfect scrap data.
OptiCharge™ optimizes scrap, returns, pig iron, and alloy additions together, minimizing total melt cost per heat while ensuring all chemistry targets are met safely. It respects built-in metallurgical constraints, including furnace capacity, minimum and maximum percentage of each scrap type, returns limits, individual element limits such as C, Si, Mn, Cr, Cu, Ni, and Mo, and total low-carbon limits.

Key Highlights
OptiCharge™ optimizes scrap, returns, pig iron, and alloy additions together, minimizing total melt cost per heat while ensuring all chemistry targets are met safely.
Key Highlights
Cuts alloy additions, maximizes low-cost scrap usage, and reduces pig iron dependency.
Delivers a higher chemistry hit rate and strike rate, with fewer trimming heats and re-blows.
Standardized best-practice recipes reduce dependence on expert metallurgists.
Built-in capabilities to handle uncertainty in scrap chemistry.
Compares alternate scrap baskets before melting.
Respects furnace capacity, minimum and maximum percentage of each scrap type, returns limits, individual element limits such as C, Si, Mn, Cr, Cu, Ni, and Mo, and total low-carbon limits.
