Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de filtration de métal fondu dans lequel la performance d'agitation du métal fondu, la performance de dégazage contre les inclusions de gaz, et la prévention du colmatage d'un tube de filtration sont uniformisées/améliorées. La présente divulgation concerne un dispositif de filtration de métal fondu qui comprend : (i) une chambre de filtration pourvue d'un orifice d'entrée et d'un orifice de sortie de métal fondu et comprenant un foyer et une surface de paroi interne ; (ii) une unité de filtration qui est disposée au-dessus du foyer à l'intérieur de la chambre de filtration et est constituée d'une pluralité de tubes de filtration en céramique pour filtrer des impuretés provenant du métal fondu ; et (iii) un rotor qui agite le métal fondu par rotation dans une direction sensiblement horizontale, le rotor étant installé adjacent à l'unité de filtration, ou, lorsqu'une pluralité d'unités de filtration sont présentes, un rotor étant installé adjacent à chacune de la pluralité d'unités de filtration, le foyer constituant le point le plus bas vu dans la direction horizontale sensiblement directement au-dessous du rotor, à l'exclusion de l'emplacement où un canal de drainage est installé, ce qui conduit sensiblement à une partie entière de contact entre le foyer et la surface de paroi interne qui est dans une position supérieure au point le plus bas sensiblement directement au-dessous du rotor.
