Refining Vessel for Non-Ferrous Metal Purification

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Refining Vessel

Definition

The Refining Vessel is a component used in the integrated non-ferrous metal smelting and casting system. It provides a controlled environment where molten non-ferrous metals are purified before casting. The vessel is lined with refractory materials to withstand high temperatures and chemical attack. Impurities such as oxides, gases, and unwanted elements are removed through techniques like fluxing, degassing, or chemical treatment. The vessel operates at temperatures between 800 and 1200 °C and is designed for batch capacities ranging from 5 to 50 m³. It is constructed from refractory-lined steel, with material grade 316L for corrosion-resistant parts. The operating pressure is typically 1.0 to 1.6 MPa, and the vessel includes heating and stirring systems with power consumption between 50 and 200 kW. Electrical supply is three-phase AC at 380–690 V, 50–60 Hz, with ingress protection rated IP54 to IP65. Dimensional tolerances are ±0.05 mm per ISO 2768-m. The weight ranges from 5000 to 20000 kg, and the footprint is 10 to 40 m². These values are directory reference ranges and must be verified with the manufacturer for specific models. The vessel is essential for achieving the desired metal quality and composition before casting, ensuring that the final product meets required specifications.

Working Principle

The Refining Vessel operates by containing molten metal at controlled temperatures while introducing refining agents or applying physical processes. Refining agents react with impurities to form slag or gases that can be separated. Physical methods such as inert gas bubbling or vacuum treatment remove dissolved gases and non-metallic inclusions. The vessel's design ensures proper mixing and temperature control to optimize the refining process.
