Continuous scrap supply in an electric arc furnace (EAF)

摘要

The continuous scrap supply comprises a channel (3), which is connected at one end with an opening in the wall of the melting furnace and has a feeding device (5) for the scrap at its other end and/or with a suction device (7) for the exhaust gas from the melting process guided through the channel and serving for preheating the scrap, and movable flaps (6), which are provided at the end of the channel turned to the feeding device and protrude into a free channel cross-section. The suction device is connected between both ends of the channel. The continuous scrap supply comprises a channel (3), which is connected at one end with an opening in the wall of the melting furnace and has a feeding device (5) for the scrap at its other end and/or with a suction device (7) for the exhaust gas from the melting process guided through the channel and serving for preheating the scrap, and movable flaps (6), which are provided at the end of the channel turned to the feeding device and protrude into a free channel cross-section. The suction device is connected between both ends of the channel. The ratio of the length of the channel from the suction device to the melting furnace and/or to the feeding device is 1:2. The suction device is present close to the end of the channel facing the melting furnace than to the end facing the feeding device based on the total length of the channel.
