Abstract
The invention relates to the emptying of melting vessels (1) by tipping. According to the invention, the melting vessel (1) is placed on column-shaped bases (6). During the tipping process, the melting vessel (1) is raised at the side and the base supports (7) of the opposite side are used as the pivot or axis of rotation. This ensures that the discharge opening (4) and the slag overflow edge (5) are not moved very far from their original position.
Claims5
Method for emptying metallurgical melting vessels by tilting, such as, for example, electric arc melting furnaces and electric resistance melting furnaces, comprising a lower furnace frame resting on a base, a tilting device, a closeable tapping opening arranged within the furnace bottom, and a slag overflow edge arranged laterally on the furnace, wherein the melting vessel (1) is released laterally from the base supports (7) by lifting the side of the lower furnace frame (2) opposite the tapping opening (4) or opposite the slag overflow edge (5) and tilted about the oppositely positioned base supports (7) acting as pivot point or axis of rotation, wherein the position of the tapping opening (4) and/or of the slag overflow edge (5) during the tilting process is not changed or changed only insignificantly.
