8000KVA Submerged Furnace

About 8000KVA Submerged Furnace

Brief description of process flow

The qualified silica, coke and ferrous materials are sent to the batching bin by the loader. After being unloaded by the electronic belt scale, the mixed materials are sent to the middle silo on the 4th floor by the inclined bridge feeding device, sent to 7 silos by the distribution truck, and fed into the furnace through the material pipe.

The charge enters the semi closed submerged arc furnace, and the current is introduced into the furnace by a three-phase transformer through the short network. The arc heating generated between the electrode and the charge is transmitted to the furnace full of charge. Through the arc heat and resistance heat, silica can be reduced to ferrosilicon alloy. In the whole smelting process, the strength of voltage and current on the electrode are set according to the smelting process parameters, In different periods, the values of voltage and current are also different, that is, the power input into the furnace is different, the electrode is always stably inserted into the charge in the furnace, and the gas escapes evenly from the whole charge surface. The electric arc is not exposed from beginning to end. The evenly mixed furnace charge is added into the furnace in small batches with the decline of the charge level, so that the charge level in the furnace remains at a certain height, and a cone shape appears around the electrode. When the ferrosilicon water generated by reduction in the furnace is stored to a certain extent, open the furnace hole with an eye opener, discharge ferrosilicon alloy, and then plug the furnace hole. The electric furnace is discharged once every 2.5 hours, and the amount of iron is

It is about 2 tons. After tapping, it is pulled to the pouring room by the vertical winch, and the molten iron ladle is lifted by the crown block and poured into the spindle mold. After the alloy is slightly cooled, pry it up and lift it to the iron container with a crown block. After cooling, transport it to the finished product warehouse with a flat car or loader.

An 8000kVA ferrosilicon furnace taps three times per shift, and samples are analyzed for each taping. The results of each sample analysis are required to be provided in front of the furnace within one hour.

Smelting and pouring are carried out in 3 shifts, with a daily output of about 18 tons
