Casting carousel
The basic part of the carousel for casting ferroalloys is a ring lying on 40 pieces of support rollers placed in a circle with a diameter of 12.1 m on a concrete base. 24 pieces of arms are attached to the ring, on which frames are placed, in which troughs are placed, into which ferroalloy is poured at the place of casting. A path for tilting frames with troughs, three places for tilting cooled ferroalloy and a path for returning the frame with trough to the starting position (ready for casting ferroalloy into the trough) is created around the outer circumference of the ring. The gears are mounted in ridges mounted on the inside of the ring.The drives are simultaneously controlled by one frequency converter.Before each drive is made a round steel barrier with a warning sign preventing contact with the drive gear The electric motor itself is covered by a removable cover.The position of the ring is The position of the 6 push wheels is made in front of each push wheel by a round steel barrier preventing a person from coming into contact with the push wheel.
