摘要

A device for protected and slag-free tapping of melt from a vessel to a pouring furnace, comprising a tiltable, cylindrical container (1) with a lid (3) which comprises part of the end wall (2) and/or part of the adjoining side wall (at 4) of the container (1), and with a screen (6) being arranged at the other end wall (bottom) (5) of the container (1) for the separation of a magnesium-containing powder that can be filled in through the lid opening while the container (1) is in a vertical position. According to the invention the container (1) is provided with a tapping pipe which extends substantially tangentially to the side wall surface of the container and perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the container and which is located at the first-mentioned end wall (2). The tapping pipe has a length which is sufficient to reach into a hood or a similar protection means in the pouring furnace during the tapping operation. The container (1) is tiltable about the longitudinal axis of the tapping pipe.
