Fire-resistant board assembly body null for stationary board of slide gate

摘要

A sliding gate valve assembly employed on the side of a furnace as a furnace valve is so structured that the shut off of metal flow from the furnace occurs by directing the slide gate (21) to the up position rather than the down position. In addition, to facilitate a reduction in space at the slide gate, the slide gate is desirably configured to be asymmetrical, with the short end extending upwardly from the pour opening (29) in the nozzle. A refractory lined heat shield (26) protects the sliding gate carrier (22) and also serves to mount a collector extension (30) when used. The slide gate (21) is provided with a metallic frame (60) which retains a monolithic refractory (80) into which erosion resistant refractory inserts or performed members (29,70) are cast. Means are desirably provided to remove the spent refractory for remanufacture thereby reclaiming the casting. Similarly in the stationary plate (20), means are provided for remanufacture and for facilitating proper orientation of erosion-resistant refractory inserts in the manufacture of the stationary plate. The stationary plate is symmetrical to provide full travel pressure face relationship with the sliding gate (21). Both the stationary plate (20) and slide gate (21) casting have spring pad back up reinforcements. The statutory plate desirably has means for securing a well nozzle (19) to it.
