Estimating the term…
The apparatus is intended for processing partly solidified slags transported in ladles out of smelting shop and also for processing slags directly besides blast furnaces and steel-making units (e.g. converters). The apparatus comprises a settling bin provided at its inlet with a water-jet granulator. The settling bin incorporates an elevator with perforated buckets for discharging granulated slag. Elevator pulley shafts are located above the level of water in the bin, the head pulley (the furthest from the granulating compartment) is placed higher than the tail pulley (the nearest to the granulating compartment). A drier is provided at the place of discharge of granulated slag from the settling bin. The settling bin is of a sealed design and is divided by a partition into two compartments, one of which is intended for granulating molten slag, and the other, for discharging granulated slag from the bin by the elevator. A constant level of water in the bin is ensured by an overflow partition. The drier means is a rotary drum drier whose discharge end is provided with a fan and a rotary feeder for discharging dry granulated slag onto belt conveyors for transportation to consumers.
An apparatus for granulating molten slag comprising a device for breaking up said molten slag by water, a divided settling bin including inclined walls for holding granulated slag and water connected to said device, a sloped elevator with perforated buckets mounted in said settling bin, at least along one of said inclined walls, for discharging therefrom said granulated slag, pulleys and pulley shafts for said sloped elevator disposed above the level of water in said settling bin, one of said pulleys, being placed above the other one, in the direction of the elevator movement, and a device for drying said granulated slag disposed at the place of discharge of said granulated slag from said settling bin;
