Degassing

¨ Our degassing equipment offers the latest in degassing technology and is engineered to meet your metal treatment needs while operating in the harsh foundry environment

¨ All of our rotary degassing units feature rugged construction throughout for long, trouble-fee service life. They’re built solid to minimize vibration and to prevent wobbling of the degassing shaft and rotor.

¨ Shaft rotation is achieved through an electrically driven heavy duty gear box for precise, accurate rotation and long, trouble-free service life.

¨ Our units are powered by premium, energy efficient, extra-tuff severe duty rated electric motors.

¨ An innovative coupling allows easy installation and removal of the degassing shaft while providing a secure, pressure-tight fit and true-spinning of the shaft and rotor.

¨ Degassing is achieved with our advanced QUAD-Zilla rotor design

             • Superior shearing of gas bubbles for maximum metal treatment

             • Pumping action of rotor eliminates dead spots in bottom of well for complete treatment of metal

             • Fast, efficient degassing reduces treatment time and gas usage while improving metal quality.

¨ Degassing shaft is protected with our new RHINO Sleeve.

                • Protects shaft from oxidation and wear at metal line.

                • Can increase service life by 3 times or more

                • Tight concentricity minimizes turbulence at metal surface level to reduce dross formation

¨ Insulated enclosure and external blower protect the motor and gear box from excessive heat.

¨ For ladle degassing stations and other units which require vertical movement, we build a solid foundation around a heavy wall, steel I-beam for maximum support and rigidity.

                • Fast, reliable vertical movement is achieved through a dual chain lift that provides smooth movement, lower maintenance and additional safety.

                • Separate limit switches can be easily adjusted for raised and lowered settings.

¨ All units shipped pre-wired, pre-plumbed, and fully tested.

¨ Includes on-site installation training and support for initial startup and continued technical support as long as you operate the equipment.

 

ADVANCED DEGASSING COUPLING

¨ All of our degassing units use our advanced degassing coupling. The features and benefits of this coupling include:

¨ Engineered with a tapered top to provide a secure, leak-free connection to prevent wasteful leakage of injection gas.

¨ Tap at top ensures the shaft spins true to reduce vibration while minimizing disturbance of metal surface.

¨ Course thread requires only one revolution to lock shaft in place. Allows easy installation and removal of shaft.

¨ Secures on outside of graphite shaft to provide maximum strength.

¨ Holes on four sides of coupling make it easy to hold coupling in place while changing the shaft.

¨ Made from stainless steel for long, maintenance free service life.

¨ Coupling is precision machined to ensure concentricity.

¨ Available for 3” through 6” diameter graphite shafts to meet your degassing requirements.

¨ This advanced coupling is also available to retrofit and upgrade your existing degassing equipment. Can be modified to fit many types of units. Please contact us for more information.
