| 20080211146 | Installation for Supplying Materials into Metallurgical Unit - The invention relates to ferrous metallurgy and can be used in the processes of direct alloying of steel in steel-teeming ladles or installations for the out-of-furnace treatment. An installation for supplying materials into a metallurgical unit comprises a distributing device made as a funnel and a swivel launder with a drive, and intermediate hoppers interconnected with a pipe-chute, wherein the installation is provided with a housing having a lid and means for fastening to structures of a plant, wherein the funnel is mounted in the lid, the swivel launder is mounted under the lid, and the intermediate hoppers are positioned radially in the housing to form a cavity by hopper surfaces facing a longitudinal axis of the installation, said cavity being separated from the interior of the hoppers, wherein the hoppers are coupled to the pipe-chute by means of discharge openings formed therein and shutters mounted to move relative to a longitudinal axis of a hopper. The inventive installation provides the rapidity in supply of materials into the metallurgical unit, while use of this installation provides synchronism of the processes of melting the supplied materials and reducing the alloying elements. | 09-04-2008 |
