Improvement in Linear Ladle Sliding Gate System by Rotation of the Sliding Plate at the Ladle Stand

摘要

The last innovation of Tech-gate S.A is a system of regulation of flux for steel ladles. Of high-tech, he allows an important reduction of the working expenses. This modular sliding gate system, so called MRS 100, is in patents pending at worldwide level and inserts following innovative principles, in a linear drawer: optimization of the round plate by a programmable sequential rotation in the ladle stand security augmented by the monitoring of the parameters of functioning of the sliding gate system, particularly pressure between plates and the compression of plates Studies have permitted to develop a new kind of slide plates gate. This unique concept offers exceptional benefits. This follows refractory cracks elimination, usually observed, and resulting reduction of refractory erosion. MRS 100 is equipped with a system of not rigid clamping of the mobile plate, which avoids the cracking of plates. The rotation of the said plate in the ladle stand allows a use of the casting hole on 360 deg. The combination of these two functions drives to a significant reduction of the usage expenses in the order of 10 to 20 percent in comparison with sliding gates systems nowadays on the market. Besides, in economic performance, the MRS 100 alloys security and simplicity of working, and, due to the reduction of consumption of refractory materials, answers environmental objectives that it are fixed the main worldwide steelmakers
