Sätt att uttaga metallsmälta ur ett smältbad samt anordning för utförande av sättet

摘要

The scoop (2) is swept horizontally across the bath surface (15) just before filling, so that the slag rake (11) on the scoop forms a slag-free area of the bath (9). A method for removing molten metal (8) from a smelt bath and supplying it to e.g. a press casting machine uses a scoop which is filled with molten metal by lowering it into the bath so that the metal flows in via a slit (7), after which the scoop is lifted out of the path and manoeuvered into a discharge location. Immediately prior to filling, the scoop is subjected to an at least partly horizontal sweeping movement, so that a slag rake protruding from the scoop in a direction at right angles to its travelling direction is located just beneath the bath surface and ensures essentially slag-free molten metal enters via the slit from the clean bath area (16). An Independent claim is also included for the smelt removal device used.
