MOLD POWDER SUPPLY APPARATUS USING THE WASTE HEAT OF A TUNDISH

摘要

The present invention relates to a mold powder supply apparatus using the waste heat of a tundish, capable of recovering the waste heat generated by the molten steel of the tundish and pre-heating and drying mold powder. The mold powder supply apparatus of the present invention includes a powder hopper mounted on a frame adjacent to a tundish such that one surface of the powder hopper absorbs radiant heat generated by the upper portion of the tundish, a stirring means for stirring the mold powder in the powder hopper, and a supply pipe connected to the lower portion of the powder hopper to supply mold powder in the powder hopper to a mold. The present invention uses the waste heat of the tundish as energy for drying mold powder to reduce energy consumption, and improves space utilization with regards to the installation of the powder hopper.
