Equipment for Semi-Automatic Transportation and Addition of Aluminum to Molten Metal

A mechanized system for transporting and metered feeding of aluminum ingots into molten metal is considered. The developed design is based on the use of a revolver mechanism, in which aluminum ingots are arranged around the circumference of a drum and sequentially fed into the melt through a guiding chute. The semi-automatic equipment for transporting and adding aluminum to molten metal improves dosing accuracy and reduces metal losses. Special attention is given to the mechanized system for transporting and feeding the material. The principles of equipment operation ensuring uniform aluminum introduction are described. The application of this technology can contribute to improving metal quality and reducing energy costs. The presented results can be used in the development of new systems for material transportation and feeding
