Automatic gas coupling (qouplerG1) for:

  • incl. non-return valves, assembly and testing kit and spare parts
  • 13 ladles (1 porous plugs)
  • 5 stations

Short Description

The qouplerDx will substitute the existing hand-held slide gate cylinder. The aim of the project is to create an automatic connection of the ladle slide gate cylinder to the ladle on the casting floor to improve the safety of the operator. The proposed solution will be built based on a new qoupler system that mechanically connects to the bell crank. The qoupler would actuate the bell crank in a similar fashion to the current manual procedures.

Short Description

The goal of the project is the installation of the qoupler system at the CCM ladle turret with the purpose to create an automatic connection of hydraulic fluid and pressurized air between turret and ladle. The hydraulic is used to operate the slide gate, the pressurized air is used for cooling of the slide gate and the automatic coupling system. The coupling system should be installed also on the ladle transfer cars with the purpose to create and automatic connection of the stirring gas (Argon), 2 porous plugs per ladle.
