The flat steel ladle transfer cart is a heavy-duty transportation equipment specially designed for the metallurgical industry (e.g. steel mills), mainly used for the safe and efficient transfer of high-temperature ladles (containers of molten steel).
- Capacity: 1~500 ton
- wheel type: Rail/trackless
- power supply: Maintenance free battery, or electric
- drive working speed: 0-35mmin (variable speed)
- Operation mode: Wireless remote control & Hand operate pendant
Working Principle
The ladle transfer cart is suitable for short distances and ensures a seamless flow of molten steel between processes. It is usually used to transfer high-temperature ladles (usually at temperatures of 1500°C or more) within the steelmaking plant, connecting to the steelmaking furnace, continuous casting machine or refining station.
Depending on the process, steel ladle transfer cart can be stationary (e.g. rotary table ladle trucks) or mobile (inter-process transfer), with some models equipped with lifting and rotating functions to match casting.
Application
The Steel Ladle Transfer Cart is widely used in the metallurgical industry for the transfer of high temperature molten steel, especially for the transportation of ladles between electric arc furnaces, converters and refineries. It is commonly used in the following scenarios and processes:
Continuous casting plants: for transferring ladles full of molten steel from the refining station to the intermediate ladle cart or pouring area.
Ingot casting process: the ladle is precisely positioned over the mold to complete the pour.
Foundry and alloy smelting workshop: for the safe handling of molten metal over short distances, it is an indispensable key equipment for the efficient transfer and precise positioning of high temperature liquid metal.
