MMEI’s new Launder Transfer Pumps offer a technological leap in molten metal transfer. This pump offers an advanced way to transfer metal quickly and precisely ad in a very quiescent manner. It also allows metal transfers to be accomplished very safely without exposing operators to risk. The Launder Transfer Pump can be used to replace many traditional transfer pumps and tapout plugs.
Traditional transfer pumps require a riser and refractory lined piping to transfer the metal. The Launder Transfer Pump eliminates the riser and the need for transfer piping. Instead, the pump transfers metal directly to the launder. When the pump is turned on, the metal is lifted in the transfer well until it begins to flow down the launder. Instead of flowing through a small pipe opening at high velocities and generating dross, high flow rates can be achieved at low velocities with very quiescent movement of the metal to minimize dross.
The Launder Transfer Pump can be used in a multitude of ways to improve productivity and reduce costs. Ladles can be filled quickly with minimal turbulence and dross formation. Metal can be transferred directly between furnaces, even when the furnaces are at different elevations. Once again, the transfer of metal is accomplished quickly with minimal metal disturbance.
The Launder Transfer Pump can also be combined with our Metal Level Sensor System to maintain metal levels in a launder at a precise metal depth. The sensor adjusts the flow from the pump to maintain the metal level within a tight range (less than +/- 3mm) even though the metal may be changing in the feed furnace. The quiescent flow of metal provides cleaner metal. It eliminates surges downstream through the filtering and degassing system which can effect process control and metal quality. The Launder Transfer Pump can also be used to feed costing lines in place of expensive tilting furnaces.
The new MMEI Launder Transfer Pump lifts metal transfer to a higher level of performance and improved metal quality. To learn more about this revolutionary new pump, contact us for more information! |
