摘要:
Vibration device for a conveying apparatus (21) to convey a metal charge in a longitudinal direction (X) comprising at least two vibration mechanisms (25, 26) each disposed on opposite sides of the conveying apparatus (21) so as to feed the metal charge. The vibration mechanisms (25, 26) comprise at least a first plurality of eccentric masses (31, 32, 33) having their mass barycenters (B) oriented in parallel directions to each other, and a second plurality of eccentric masses (34, 35) having their mass barycenters (B) disposed angularly offset with respect to the disposition of the barycenters of the first plurality of eccentric masses (31, 32, 33).
摘要:
An improved method and apparatus for charging, preheating and refining steel. The charging apparatus has a skirted charging section for introducing charge materials, a dynamic gas seal adjacent the charging section and a preheater, the preheater for preheating the charged materials, a connector adjacent the preheater and removably insertable into an electric arc furnace for feeding charged materials into a furnace bath for melting and refining metallic charge therein, and a vibrating conveyor which extends throughout the charging apparatus. The charging apparatus is positioned on rails to be movable by a hydraulic cylinder between a charging position wherein the connector is fully inserted into the furnace, a retracted position where the connector is partially inserted into the furnace and a disconnected position where the connector is fully removed from the furnace.

A substantially spherically-shaped electric melting furnace includes a carbon-lined crucible. The interior of said crucible is sealed from the atmosphere outside the crucible and a vacuum pump and venturi device control the atmosphere within the crucible by removing oxygen therefrom. A feeder lock allows material to be fed into the crucible without interfering with the atmospheric control of the crucible and a tap hole adjacent the lower portion of the crucible allows molten material to be removed. When used in the manufacture of mineral wool insulation, slag is fed into the crucible to be melted and the molten slag from the tap hole is delivered to a fiberizing device.

摘要:
Apparatus and method for effecting thermal reclamation of granular materials, particularly foundry sand and contaminated soil. In a first embodiment, a sand calciner system (10) includes a refractory-lined drum (12) mounted for oscillation about its longitudinal axis (14). An arrangement of plows (76) are provided along the bottom inside of the drum (12) for mixing the sand received through an inlet (54) and advancing it toward a discharge outlet (56) responsive to oscillation of the drum over a predetermined arc about the axis (14). The plows (76) are arranged in staggered rows with each plow having a transverse front surface facing the inlet (54), an inclined top surface, and an angled back surface facing the outlet (56). An aerator pipe (78) is provided in conjunction with the plows (76) to fluidize the sand and thereby effect more thorough mixing and exposure to burners (58) positioned along the upper side of the drum (12) for complete calcining. A tempering section (16) and screening section (18) are preferably connected to the discharge end of the drum (12) to pre-cool the calcined sand and then classify it for further handling and reuse in foundry cores and molds or the like. In a second embodiment, the system (130) is particularly adapted for cleaning soil contaminated with pentachlorophenol, creosote, oil, fuel or other hydrocarbon-rich liquids.
摘要:
Scrap metal for steelmaking in a converter is preheated by a heating installation and subsequently charged into a charging trough. The preheating takes place in a separate furnace which is aligned parallel to the charging trough. The furnace can be brought to an emptying position in such a way that the preheated scrap can fall from the preheating furnace and still retain its orientation.
摘要:
AN ARTICULATED CARRIAGE WITH TANDEM SECTIONS IS SUPPORTED AND GUIDED BY A TRACK FOR MOVEMENT TO A LOCATION ABOVE A STEEL-MAKING FURNACE, PREFERABLY OF THE BASIC OXYGEN TYPE, A FORWARD CARRIAGE SECTION CARRIES A CHARGE CONTAINER AND A FOLLOWING CARRIAGE SECTION DRIVES THE CARRIAGE ALONG THE TRACK. FORWARD MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT SECTION IS STOPPED ABOVE THE FURNACE AND CONTINUED MOVEMENT OF THE TRAILING SECTION JACKKNIFE THE CARRIAGE, TILTING THE FRONT SECTION AND CHARGE CONTAINER FORWARD. A PORTION OF THE TRACK ABOVE THE FURNACE IS ANGULARLY INCLINED DOWNWARDLY RELATIVE TO A PRECEDING PORTION OF THE TRACK TO INITATE TILTING OF THE FRONT SECTION OF THE CARRAIGE.
