CLASS 40: Metallurgy.

Patented in the German Empire on September 13, 1890.

The present invention relates to an apparatus by means of which the removal of fiery liquid slag and the like in metallurgical plants should be facilitated.

The most common type of slag removal in trolleys with removable hoods or in Tipper wagon always requires a large number of wagons, both of which are purchased and used maintenance are also very expensive, but still because of a breakthrough when moving Insufficiently cooled slag often burns the workers and destroys the Cause railway tracks.

The granulation of the slag by means of water and the transport of the slag sand is not feasible anywhere, as this sand takes up a much larger space on the heap. usually does not take as cooled solid slag and this space in the immediate vicinity of the huts is available; the longer transport of the sharp slag sand with the adhering sand Water has many other inconveniences in its wake. '

With this facility, the Evasion of both modes of transport avoided.

The device consists of an iron drum X ^1, which is mounted on rollers RR and by means of a drive device V in slow rotatory movement is added. In this drum a number of conical coquilles CC made of suitable material are inserted in such a way that they sweep the opening towards the inside of the drum and. Suitable sealing rings JJ prevent water from penetrating into them. The lower part of the drum is immersed in a water basin B; the upper one is surrounded by an adjoining sheet metal hood H with a chimney S , which is intended to discharge vapors and gases.

The slag flows through the channel k into the coquillen at point α b, the coquillen move with the drum in a circle in the direction of the arrow; at A , cooling water flows from a pipeline onto the bottoms of the coquilles, enveloping them and then flowing into the basin, where an overflow pipe U allows it to run off.

The solidified slag lumps St St, which have taken the form of the coquilles, fall on the route cd from this into the collecting funnel M with flap N, from which they can then be delivered to the vessels intended for further transport (dump truck, cable car, etc.).

By changing the number of revolutions of the drum, the quantum to be mastered both and the time of cooling can be regulated.

The advantages of the apparatus are easy to see. Since the device works automatically, labor is saved. Furthermore, larger and simpler vessels can be used for transportation the slag can be used, which makes it cheaper to dispose of; also are injuries the worker excluded by burning. The slag heaps from slag cooled in this way are not so extensive than from granulated slag.

Claims (1)

Patent claim: An automatically acting device for cooling and loading fiery-liquid slag, etc., consisting of a water tank (B), a rotating drum (T) immersed in the same, with a number of conical coquillen (CC) turning the opening towards the inside of the drum, into which the Slag flows, and from which the slag, after it has cooled down, is automatically emptied into a collecting funnel (M) , from which it slides into the vessels intended for further transport, and a cooling water pipe, which the water on the bottoms of the above empty coquillen, so that these are cooled before they take up new slag. For this purpose ι sheet of drawings.
