The concept of an automated system for transports monitoring of liquid iron in the steel industries

This article describes the characteristics and problems of transportation of liquid iron in the hot-metal ladle and mixers-hot metal from the steel industries. The analysis found that the greatest impact on the quality of liquid iron transport provides frequent damage to the lining of the spout and the ladle and the mixer, and the inability to track their location on the site. Certain problems are the basis for the development of the concept of monitoring the transport of liquid iron in the steel industries. In accordance with the concept of the system consists of three main subsystems: the identification and monitoring of a pair of ladle-carriage and mixer-hot metal; control subsystem burnout lining; subsystem control the build-up and spout. Dedicated subsystem fully address the issues identified. To implement the functions declared in the system we have put forward requirements for equipment transport pathways iron ladles and mixers-hot metal. As a result, we can say that the introduction of the system will reduce the risks associated with the possibility of accidents during transportation of liquid iron, and reduce downtime steel teeming equipment.
