Definitions
- the furnace according to our invention comprises an inlet chamber 1, a main melting chamber 2 and an outlet chamber 3.
- a successive cleaning of the metal takes place, especially in case a filter 8 is placed in the wall opening or openings.
- the impurities are taken away as need arises.
- the heating of the furnace is not shown.
- Molten metal may be fed to the casting device manually or using an automatic ladle.
- a preferred method is however to feed the melt utilizing a pneumatic pumping system as shown schematically in Fig.2.
- a pneumatic pumping system as shown schematically in Fig.2.
- the outlet chamber there is located in this case a pump chamber 9, which has a small inlet opening 10 and a larger outlet pipe 11.
- the pump chamber is hermetically closed by the lid 12.
- molten metal When over-pressure via a pipe 13 in the pump chamber lid, in accordance with a method earlier patented by us, is applied on the metal surface in the pump chamber using a suitable gas, e.g. nitrogen, molten metal will be forced out through the outlet pipe.
- the outlet pipe 11 is connected to the upper part of a tank being a separate chamber in the melting furnace or a small and completely separate dosing furnace 14.
- the lower inner surface 15 of this outlet pipe shall at its outlet end be at a level slightly higher than the maximum metal level in the melting furnace, but so much lower than the upper edge 16 of the dosing furnace or chamber that the amount of melt, that one pump stroke pumps out, may be contained in the dosing furnace or chamber with no over-filling. This amount of melt pumped out by one pump stroke may be calculated approximately and measured experimentally.
- valve 17 In the bottom of the dosing furnace or chamber 14 there is a valve 17, which will open on a signal from the casting device. A clock controls the time this valve stays open. Since the level in the dosing fiirnce or chamber will be nearly constant, the result will be a precise dosing. In case the valve is computer controlled the dosing rate may also be changed in a controlled manner.
