PLANT FOR SUPPLYING MATERIALS TO A METALLURGICAL UNIT

摘要

The invention relates to the iron-and-steel industry and can be used for direct steel alloying processes in steelmaking devices, steel-teeming ladles or out-of-furnace processing plants. The inventive plant for supplying material to a metallurgical device comprises a dispensing mechanism embodied in the form of a hopper, a driven rotatable spout and storage bins which are interconnected to a tube chute, wherein said plant is provided with a body, a cover and means for fixing to workshop structures, the hopper is incorporated into the cover, the rotatable spout is placed under the cover and the storage bins are radially arranged in the body in such a way that a cavity separated from the bin internal spaces is formed by the bin surfaces oriented in the direction of the plant longitudinal axis. The bins are connected to the tube chute by means of discharge openings which are embodied therein and dampers which are mounted in such a way that they are movable with respect to the bin longitudinal axis. Said plant makes it possible to accelerate the material supply to the metallurgical device, synchronise initial material melting processes and to recover the alloying elements when the direct steel alloying method is carried out.
