Design and Fabrication of a Convertor Ladle and Treatment Chamber

The main purpose of this project is to design and fabricate a Convertor Ladle and a Chamber for the treatment of SG Iron that can eliminate the major disadvantages found in the Ladle that is currently being used. To reduce the human effort and difficulties identified during its operations. The Spillage of metal during pouring it into the shank is to be reduced to eliminate the molten metal wastage. The main objective is to reduce the evolution of large amount of gases into the open environment, that causes discomfort and health issues. The Convertor Ladle simplifies the complex mechanisms being used in the Ladle for the opening and closing of the Ladles. The Gear arrangements were altered so that it is now easier for the operators to tilt the Ladle. The design enhances the safety of the workers operating the Ladle. Material handling has very old and vast history. In evaluation and implementation of material handling system, multiple factors should be considered, including the plant facilities, the machinery, the material handling equipment and of course people involved. In this paper the overall revive of principles of material handling systems and various material handling systems used in foundry is taken. Prof. N. Nandhini | S. Gokulakrishnan | M. Gowtham | R.
