Transfer system for liquid metals

摘要

Transfer system for liquid metals such as aluminum, zinc and magnesium. The system is used to transfer liquid metal in a casting process from a furnace to a casting machine while extending the life term of the transfer conduit. The canal replaces the use of gas burners with electric heat generating means in order to maintain the constant temperature of the liquid metal transferred. The system allows to automatically maintaining the liquid metal level and a constant temperature during said liquid metal transfer.
A level sensor detects the level of liquid metal running through a conduit and sends the level detected to a programmable logic controller (PLC), defining the tilt degree of a casting furnace.
The temperature of the liquid metal is measured by a sensor and is regulated by activating individually said hinged cover of the transfer canal and said heat generator means.
