Tech/Engineering - Metallurgy / Casting
Portuguese term or phrase: baixo forno
This term is found in a resume (under responsibilities at a previous job):

Operação de dois baixos fornos elétricos de redução de 20 MVA de potência.

I can't seem to find a translation that fits for "baixos fornos."

Thanks in advance for your help.
