Non-Heated Pouring Ladle

 Non-Heated Pouring Ladle        (More)

The non-heated bottom pouring ladle from pour-tech AB is suitable for grey, malleable, ductile, CGI and mixed production. The pouring ladle provides continuous operation by allowing the ladle to be refilled without interrupting the pouring.
Compared with tilt pouring, bottom pouring prevents floating slag from entering the mold, and allows for more accurate pouring control and smaller pouring cups. By designing the ladle correctly, the temperature loss and ductility fade rate can be controlled within tight tolerances. In order to have full control of the heatlosses and magnesium fading, it is necessary to refill the ladle every 7-10 minutes with fresh iron.

Automatic level compensation is an option for reading the weight of the pouring ladle, using load cell sensors built into the ladle frame. It dynamically and automatically compensates the pouring parameters for the ferrostatic pressure variations in the ladle when the ladle goes from full to empty. The operator is also informed of the contents (weight) of the ladle and when it is time to refill with new iron. The load cells can also be used to tell when the ladle is charged so fade timers can be reset automatically.

BENEFITS:

* Low energy cost

* Low investment cost

* Low maintenance cost

* Easy to change iron grade

Continious casting improves the production rate

* Improved casting quality

* No fill or pour siphons to maintain
