- use on casting floor or tundish car
- good flexibility
- improved operator safety
Technical Characteristics
The re-engineered ladle Shroud Manipulator enables the user to maintain an airtight seal between ladle and shroud. The Manipulator has been designed using all the experience and feedback of its tried-and-tested predecessor. Equipment is manufactured using standardised modules, resulting in high reliability and low maintenance of equipment. Safe handling of shrouds using a joystick.
Economical and technical benefits
Low overall costs, electro-hydraulic operation. Shroud Manipulator equipment minimises damage to shroud and slide gate and prevents reoxidation, resulting in a favourable return on your investment.
Technical Design
The equipment consists of a base frame, an electrically- driven swivel column, hydraulically-driven jib arm with take-up fork and piping for the inert gas (argon). The manipulator follows the ladle turret movement, thus maintaining the press-onforce to the slide gate nozzle.
Control systems - standard Siemens S7 PLC.
