Lateral electromagnetic stirrer with a non-magnetic gap 550 mm, LIM 550

Task:

Noncontact melt mixing in the furnace

Customer:

Krasnoyarsk Metallurgical Plant LLC, Krasnoyarsk

Project Year:

2013

Issues prior to implementation:

  • Manual mixing of the melt
  • Low productivity of the melting and casting equipment
  • Inability to install the stirrer under the furnace bottom

Key Features:

Installed capacity is 30 kW

A nonmagnetic gap is 350 — 550 mm

Working frequency is 0.5-1.5 Hz

Cooling method — air

Result:

Reduced energy consumption for melt preparation

Homogenization of melt in the furnace by temperature and chemical composition

Reduced slag formation on the melt surface
