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.

Short Desription

In this project, qoncept carried out a feasibility study for the implementation of an automatic multi-media coupling system designed to replace manual hose connections for gas and hydraulics in a steel plant environment. The study focused on evaluating technical feasibility, defining installation requirements, and identifying optimal system positioning through detailed collision and layout analyses. It also included the basic engineering for piping and pipe routing on ladles and transfer cars, as well as the design of custom brackets, guiding systems, and protective components. Two on-site assessments were conducted to verify boundary conditions and refine the installation concept in close collaboration with plant engineers. The resulting study provides the technical basis for the subsequent detailed engineering and installation of a fully automated coupling solution, aimed at increasing operator safety, reducing connection time, and enhancing process reliability
