Abstract:
The present invention refers to a device (10) for adjusting the locking point of the electrode of a smelting furnace comprising: a vice (120) for supporting said electrode and supplying it with power, and it is characterised in that it comprises a structure (13) coupled with said vice (120) and comprising support means of said electrode and means for moving said electrode vertically.
Abstract:
A movable device for injecting oxygen and other technical materials into an electric arc furnace comprising a housing (16) situated above a portion of a step (13) of a crucible (11) and equipped with a cooling coil (15), an injection lance (20) of oxygen and other technical materials, supporting (23, 26) and moving means (21, 22, 24) of the lance between minimum and maximum range points of the liquid bath level contained therein, positioned in the housing (16), an opening (27) situated in the housing and facing the inside of the crucible in which the lance is transferably guided, scraping means (28) being envisaged between the opening (27) and the lance (20).
Abstract:
The present invention refers to a method and an apparatus (10) for closing the slag doorway and for cleaning the slag doorway and channel of a metallurgical furnace (100) comprising walls in which a slag doorway (107) is defined and a slag channel (108) that crosses said slag doorway (107) and has a bottom (109), in which the apparatus (10) comprises a support structure (11) associable with the furnace (100), at least one slag-breaking body that is provided with a lower border that, under mounting conditions of the apparatus (10) on the furnace (100), is directed towards the bottom (109) and at a definable height with respect to it, in which the slag-breaking body is associated with the support structure (11) in a movable manner along the slag channel (108) away from and/or towards the slag doorway (107) in order to wipe, with its lower border, the bottom (109) or a plane parallel to it and vibrating or oscillating means (25) that are associated with the slag-breaking body in order to confer it a vibrating or oscillating movement with non null component incident the bottom (109), during at least one tract of the travel performed by it during its movement away from or towards the slag doorway.
