Transporter for electric furnace hot charge - has hot charge ladles moved by belt protected against heat

摘要

The transporter for hot charge has belt for carrying ladles with hot charge. The belt is connected to ladles by transverse members provided with thermal protection for the transporter belt. The continuous transporter system prevents heating of the belt also on transporting in a shielding gas atmosphere. The transporter belt is held outside the housing which is sealed against the outside atmosphere. This housing accommodates the ladles of the transporter. Slots are provided along the housing for the transverse connector members. Each slot has a shielding gas chamber. Two thermal protection plates are fitted on the transvers members between the shielding gas chamber and the ladle.
