Ladle Turret Weighing

Ladle turret scales are used in continuous casting facilities where the liquid steel is cast into continuous strands. The weighing equipment is used in the ladle turret, tundish, and outgoing roller table to determine the weight, and control the process.

The incredibly robust ladle turret scales are manufactured for the prevailing harsh ambient conditions. They are not affected by shock, interfering forces, or huge fluctuations in temperature. Increase safety and efficiency of your production process by installing a Ladle weighing system.

Knowing the precise net weight of each ladle will allow you to:

Supervise and control the whole steel-making process with the certain knowledge of the amounts and locations of pig Iron and steel within the process
Calculate the most efficient amounts of scrap and alloys to be used
Reduce spillage during the filling and pouring process

Measure Di High-temperature load cells of 40 – 200 tons are installed between the base structure and the weighbridge, without the need for modification of the ladle supporting geometry.

Weighing Accuracy:

The solution allows the total weight of the ladle to be measured with an accuracy up to ± 0.1 % of Full Scale.

High-Precision Ladle Turret Weighing System for Efficient Load Management

In the demanding environment of steel manufacturing, precision is non-negotiable. The Ladle Turret Weighing System from Measure DI delivers unmatched accuracy and performance in monitoring molten metal weight during the casting process. Designed for continuous casting facilities, this system enhances both efficiency and safety, ensuring optimal control over every stage of the operation.

At the heart of the system lies our high-temperature load cells, built to withstand extreme conditions. These load cells, with capacities ranging from 40 to 200 tons, are installed between the base structure and the weighbridge—no modifications to the ladle support geometry are needed. This plug-and-play design allows for easy integration and immediate results.

Reliable Performance in Harsh Conditions

The Ladle Turret Weighing System is specifically engineered to operate in the harsh ambient conditions typical of steel plants. It might be shock loads, temperature fluctuations, or mechanical vibrations, the system maintains full accuracy and functionality. This system is built for durability, ensuring performance isn’t compromised even under continuous use.

By installing a ladle weighing system, steelmakers can accurately measure the net weight of each ladle. This enables real-time supervision and control over the amount of pig iron and steel throughout the process. The benefits are immediate: reduced spillage, precise alloy calculations, and minimized scrap usage.

Increased Control and Reduced Waste

Knowing the precise weight of molten steel in the ladle empowers plant managers to make informed decisions. The system allows operators to:

Monitor and regulate the flow of steel and pig iron with precision
Calculate optimal alloy and scrap ratios for each batch
Prevent overfilling and underfilling, reducing costly material losses

With weighing accuracy up to ± of full scale, our weighing system ensures you never have to guess again. This is especially important when managing the flow of molten steel into the tundish in steel making operations.

Seamless Integration with Casting Processes

The Ladle Turret Weighing System integrates effortlessly with other process stages, including tundish casting and the outgoing roller table. This synchronization ensures a streamlined, data-driven production flow from ladle to mold.

Additionally, the system provides data analytics that support continuous improvement in steel measure operations. When paired with your plant’s automation infrastructure, it opens the door to smarter production strategies and increased ROI.
