GENERAL PROCESS DESCRIPTION

Tapped molten metal filled PEIE-Ladle shall be placed in position of PEIE-Ladle-stand to match it’s Trunion with Ladle Tilting arm.

 

.Hot metal shall be poured on C.S. Mould of Pig casting Machine through PEIE-Hot-metal-runner  when tilting of ladle by action of winch or overhead crane.

An inclined chain conveyor having a set of overlapping Moulds fixed between a pair of chain Link carries set of rollers which moves over Rail.

 

A set of sprockets on either side of the PCM one of which is driven (idle/Tail-sprocket) and the other is driving/ Head sprocket are mounted on technological structure.

The VVVF drive AC motor coupled(Pin-bush) to a multistage Helical reduction gear box, the output shaft of which is connected through Geared coupling to the driving sprocket shaft supported at the ends by bearing.

 

After travelling the distance of metal for solidification time , the formatted Pigs shall be fed into water quenching by PEIE-water-spray-Twin-Header

The Pig Knocker facilitates to strike the pigs at discharge end which fall down to direct Dumper through a Pig-Discharge-Chute

 

Lime spray(Graphite powder mixed) coating shall be done on return moulds ~1.2 specific gravity to remove stickiness of pig  .

Wear resistant Slurry Lime pump shall be used for spray and recirculation

S.S-304 Blade  vertically Agitator mixes the lime slurry into concrete lime mixing tank

 

Water spraying and  recirculated  circuit tank hold minimum 100 m3 of water and the clear water pumps shall be used for cooling purpose of Pig.

Spillage collecting Tray contains sand to easy removal of spillage if.

 

A slow speed pouring of Ladle winch shall be provided for ease of operation.
