17.07.2018
Open melt overflows
11.07.2018Task:
Filtration of aluminium melt from non-metallic inclusions through the ceramic foam insert in the line of aluminium ingot production
Customer:
RUSAL Krasnoyarsk JSC, Krasnoyarsk, Casthouse No.1, conveyors No.1 and No.2
Project Year:
2015
Issues prior to implementation:
- Complicated casting start-up with filter porosity more than PPI20
Key Features:
Power of the radiation heaters is 10 kW (900°С)
Power of the convection heater is 8 kW (550 °С)
Pneumatic lifting drive
SIEMENS automatic equipment
Result:
Warming-up of the filtration chamber cartridge up to 600°C and warming-up of the ceramic foam insert prior to casting
Possibility of quick start with filter porosity up to PPI50
Change over to SiO2 based concrete
Improvement of production process automation
