In 2015, U. S. Steel – Gary Works converted the Two-Bell Top-Charging System to a Compact Bell-Less Top® at its No. 4 blast furnace. The Compact Bell-Less Top was relocated, reconditioned and modified from U. S. Steel – Great Lakes' A-1 blast furnace. The decision to change the top equipment was based on the operational and maintenance benefits recognized at the No. 14 blast furnace at Gary Works and on the longevity of the PW BLT equipment when compared to bell tops.
