Ladle ferry weighing system for pig iron production
Maintaining accuracy and reliability in weighing systems for ladle ferries in pig iron production can be challenging. The systems must endure extreme conditions, including high temperatures, mechanical impacts, and contamination from slag and dirt, to ensure accurate weight measurements.
Ensures accurate and reliable weight measurements
The Schenck Process ladle ferry weighing system is designed specifically for the harsh environment of pig iron and steel production. The system incorporates robust weighing components such as RTN load cells with SensiQ Secure Mount elastomere mounts or WDI weighing discs for double-frame setups, which endure high mechanical impacts and extreme temperatures. For ferries lacking double frames, the SensiQ Weighbeam WB weighbeams, equipped with centrally located ladle supports, enhance operational reliability with an integrated temperature sensor displayed on the control panel. The system’s design minimizes disruption during installation and maintenance by featuring short changeover times and quick production restarts. Optional infrared or radio data transfer capabilities reduce the risk of cable damage, ensuring dependable data communication within the weighing system. The MULTILADLE package offers a comprehensive and reliable solution for ladle ferries used in pig iron and steel production.
