Equipment details of CCM

 Some of these equipments are described in more detail below. Ladle turret One very important part of a CC machine is the ladle turret. It is mounted at the reinforced concrete base. It holds the steel teeming ladles, which can weigh up to 300 t. By means of the ladle turret, the steel teeming ladles are alternately slewed into pouring and charging position. This function ensures the uninterrupted operation of the CC machine. While one ladle is being emptied, a full ladle is provided on the other side. The bearings in the ladle turret, in spite of being subjected to high forces and considerable tilting moments, reach service lives of more than 10 years. Ladle turret supports the ladles and its hydraulic system with rotary arms has the mechanism to allow the ladles to be raised and lowered whilst maintaining a horizontal position. Also strain gauge load cell is incorporated in the ladle turret to allow the weight of the ladles to be continuously monitored. Variable frequency AC moto...
