What kind of handling equipment are generally used in steelmaking plants?

Ladle trucks are also called molten steel trucks. It is an electric flat car specially developed for transporting high-temperature ladles in steel plants. Because the temperature of molten steel and steel slag is too high, a series of hazards will occur when using ordinary electric transfer vehicles. In order to avoid accidents such as burns to employees due to splashing of molten steel and steel slag, the manufacturer specially developed a ladle transfer vehicle for this purpose. The transfer vehicle can be operated remotely. The running speed can be freely controlled, and running on the track can avoid splashing of molten steel, avoid high-temperature burns, and ensure the health of employees. Ladle transfer vehicles have higher requirements for high temperature resistance, and the requirements for vehicle body materials, transmission systems and electrical controls are higher than those of ordinary transfer vehicles. In order to reduce the inertia and splashing of molten steel or steel slag, the traction motor of the ladle transfer vehicle is designed to start and stop slowly; the vehicle body is equipped with thermal insulation material to prevent the ladle body from being exposed to high temperature radiation. The drive of the ladle transfer vehicle is divided into electric single drive and electric dual drive. However, in order to better ensure the transportation of molten steel, a dual drive system is generally used. Once one system fails during lifting, the other system can also ensure the completion of a process. cycle.
