西门子Vai Metals Technologies已从Maanshan Iron＆Steel Co. Ltd（Masteel）收到订单，以提供双弹炉。二级冶金工厂是容量扩展的一部分，并将于2012年8月开始运营。自2007年以来，Masteel已经经营着来自西门子的几乎相同设计的钢包炉。
Computer-animated view of the twin ladle furnace from Siemens for Masteel in Maanshan, China.
The twin-ladle furnace will have a capacity of 300 tons and will be constructed in Masteel's steel plant No. 4 in the city of Maanshan in the Anhui province. Siemens will supply key mechanical and electronic equipment for the works - such as the electrode support arms including the high-current system, the manipulator for temperature measurement and sampling and a high-voltage switchgear.
The scope of the project will also include the basic automation (level 1) hardware and software with the associated process visualization and the process automation (level 2) including optimization functions for efficient operation of the furnace. Automation of the new furnace will be integrated fully into the factory's existing automation system. Plant personnel will, therefore, have at its disposal the user interface that it has been familiar with since Siemens delivered a twin-ladle furnace in 2007.
Masteel是中国钢铁的主要生产商。该公司由该国东南部的Anhui省政府控制，年产能约为1600万吨钢。
