The Ladle Turret is a core component in the continuous casting process, responsible for holding, rotating, and positioning the ladle during molten steel transfer. Installed between the steel receiving span and the pouring span, it forms the key link between upstream steelmaking and downstream casting operations. LIWEI’s ladle turrets are engineered for high load-bearing strength, reliable motion control, and compact structural integration. Designed to improve casting continuity and minimize downtime, they are essential for multi-ladle continuous casting setups, where safety, efficiency, and positioning precision are critical.
LIWEI ladle turrets are capable of handling extremely heavy ladles, supporting loads up to 2.8 times the ladle capacity. For example, a 300-ton ladle turret can safely manage over 800 tons of dynamic load. This ensures robust operation even under the extreme thermal and mechanical conditions of high-volume casting.
The turret delivers the ladle to the pouring position quickly and with high accuracy. During operation, a crane places the ladle onto the turret, which then rotates and aligns the ladle precisely over the tundish. After pouring, the empty ladle is rotated away for refilling, allowing seamless steel flow between heats.
The system is designed to handle back-to-back ladle exchanges, supporting uninterrupted casting sequences. In emergency or power failure situations, the turret can quickly move the ladle to a safe standby position, ensuring safety without disrupting process flow.
Despite its high capacity, the turret has a compact footprint, minimizing the space required on the casting platform. LIWEI emphasizes structural integrity, safety redundancy, and ease of maintenance, ensuring long-term operational reliability with optimized spatial efficiency.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Application | Ladle Handling in Continuous Casting Lines |
| Load Capacity | Up to 2.8× Ladle Capacity (e.g., 2×420t) |
| Rotation Mechanism | Motor Drive + Emergency Backup System |
| Mounting Configuration | Compact Base with Anchoring Components |
| Control System | Integrated Accident Drive and Monitoring |
| Installation Area | Small Footprint on Casting Platform |
By allowing fast and accurate ladle changes, the ladle turret reduces process interruptions and supports stable, sequential casting. It increases productivity and ensures a steady supply of molten steel to the tundish during long casting runs.
Equipped with emergency drive systems and advanced monitoring features, the turret ensures safe handling during both normal and unplanned shutdowns. It is compatible with automated casting lines, making it ideal for modern smart steel plants.
LIWEI offers design flexibility, including various anchoring types, rotation controls, and integration methods to suit different casting platforms and production scales.
The ladle turret is widely used in high-capacity continuous casting machines, especially where multi-ladle sequences are standard. It enhances safety, process control, and overall plant efficiency.
Due to its modular, compact structure, it is also ideal for retrofitting older casting systems with minimal platform modification.
A: Depending on the configuration, LIWEI turrets can support up to 2.8 times the ladle's rated capacity.
A: Yes, each unit includes an accident drive system to move the ladle safely during emergencies.
A: No, it is designed with a compact footprint to fit efficiently on modern casting platforms.
