Development of a New System for Precise Measurement of the Weight of Valuable Liquid Metals with Ladle Cranes

Abstract

Precise measurement of liquid minerals (chrome, brass and iron) under high temperature values during transportation with a ladle crane is a very important and critical process for semi-finished product production. In this study, the technological integration and optimization of liquid mines in a ladle crane design is examined and focused on examining the design principles, mechanism and engineering approaches that need to be developed. Also, high precision weighing can be made by means of the load cell technology. In the design step, material selection, integration and mechanical structure optimization are discussed. It has been determined that the design of the ladle crane will adapt to environmental effects and operational requirements. A series of tests were performed to evaluate the weight measurement performance of the ladle crane. As a result, the principles of precision weight measuring ladle crane design, engineering approaches and test results revealed that the developed system is very effective and reliable
