Abstract:
For the automatic control of batching when casting from a heatretaining furnace or ladle, an arrangement is provided for tapping the ladle in batches into a batching ladle. An arrangement is provided for weighing the batching ladle and the output signal of the weighing arrangement is fed to a deriving device which gives an output signal dependent on the melt flow. The output signal of the deriving device is fed to a comparison device along with a signal representing a desired value. A control device for the tapping of the furnace is combined with the output signal of the comparison device to terminate tapping when a predetermined quantity of melt has been tapped.
