project

[crmn]

I have a project and I`m stuck. One of my employes have a melt shop with four (4) induction furnaces, 25 To each, all in line. What he wants to do is to build a ladle transfer-car for tapping. The problem is that he wants the transfer-car parallel to platform. Meaning one transfer-car for all four furnaces. My problem is that I have to calculate that the steel tap exact the bottom of the ladle when it`s start flowing, not the walls. Like in the pic. If u understand something, give me a hint. Thank you.

It is very difficult to control the fall of metal ,when pouring directly from a furnace spout into a ladle or transfer car. The transfer line has to be parallel to the platform.

However,you can consider attaching a tundish to the spout of the furnace and then directing the metal to flow through it and fall at any desired location in the transfer car. This device can be a detachable one,which can be removed after tapping.

that would be so nice, but the problem is that the distance btw top of the furnace and ladle is max 1500 mm.
