Title: Heribert A Krall: Innovator in Continuous Casting Technology
Introduction
Heribert A Krall is a notable inventor based in Wurzburg, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of continuous casting technology, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of casting processes, particularly for precious metals.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a Continuous Casting Assembly. This assembly includes a holding and heating furnace, a mould and cooler, and a strand withdrawal unit secured to a pivotable frame. It is designed for melting and casting small quantities of precious metals, minimizing loss or waste during the casting process. The furnace features a heated crucible that is adjustably carried on the frame, while the mould and cooler serve as a cover for the crucible. They can be pivoted to an open position, allowing easy access to the crucible.
Another significant patent is the Strand Withdrawal Assembly for Continuous Casting Plants. This assembly is used for clamping strands being withdrawn from a casting mould. It consists of at least two strands that are clamped between a lower, driven roll and a pair of upper rolls. The upper rolls are rotatably mounted on an eccentric shaft, which is supported at both ends and can be raised or lowered by hydraulic cylinders. This design accommodates minor variations in thickness of the clamped strands, ensuring equal pressure is applied even when the strands vary in thickness.
