Examples of Applications

Use to Fill Ladles

¨ Fill ladles fast with the Launder Transfer Pump to improve productivity.

¨ Metal cascades at minimum velocity from wide opening of launder to provide quite filing of ladle

¨ Quiet flow minimize dross formation

¨ Operator remains at a safe distance during filing process—no tapouts to pull or replace

¨ Launder can be easily cleaned

¨ No riser or piping to clog up or replace

Maintain Metal Level in a Launder

¨ Use to maintain metal level to precise depths in launder for feeding casting lines.

¨ MMEL Laser Metal Level Sensor controls speed of Launder Transfer Pump to ensure metal depth remains constant - within +/- 3mm.

¨ Subsurface metal movement provides quiescent metal transfer in launder

¨ System operates automatically

¨ Changes in metal level in the feed furnace do not effect the level in the launder

¨ Reliable and accurate system improves process control

Transfer Metal Between Furnaces

¨ Achieve quiescent metal transfers between furnaces in rapid time - increase productivity

¨ Metal cascades at minimum velocity from wide opening of launder to provide a quiet transfer

¨ Quiet flow minimizes dross formation

¨ Operator stays safe distance during filling process - no topouts to pull or replace

¨ Launder can be covered to reduce temperature loss during transfer. Launder is easily cleaned and maintained.

¨ Can be combined with MMEI Laser Metal sensor System to provide accurate metal transfers
