Compact plant for making steel bars and profiles with which, starting from the scrap, it is possible to obtain the finished product, for example bars with commercial length from 6 to 18 meters, pre-packed, packaged and ready for sale, with all the stations placed in line and operating continuously. All the stations are arranged in reduced spaces, thereby reducing both investment costs and plant management costs, and decreasing production times. Advantageously, the plant of the invention incorporates an extremely compact bar packaging apparatus which, through an innovative arrangement and innovative operating method of the components thereof, allows a further reduction in length.

Compact plant for continuous production of bars and/or profiles

A device for discharging molten metal from a container to another, comprising an outlet sleeve which penetrates into the lower container pushed by springs against a nozzle of refractory material which connects the inside of the upper container with the outside, so as to make a seal for the molten metal. The outlet sleeve is surrounded by a cylindrical sheath which joins, through a sand joint with a cylindrical blade fixed to the base of the upper container, around the aperture where it faces the nozzle. The sheath and the blade enclose a volume into which an inert gas is injected to remove the air possibly present.

Device for discharging molten metal from a container

An discharging device for molten metal between an upper ladle () and a tundish () comprising a slide valve nozzle fixed to the base of the ladle, comprising an upper fixed nozzle () and a mobile one below (), inserted into an opening in the base of said slide valve nozzle with the lower end protruding from it, and a ring shaped blade () fixed to the base of the slide valve nozzle around said aperture. The tundish () comprises a cylindrical jacket () placed with a vertical axis and fitted at its end with a sand joint () for sealing gas into which the ring shaped blade is sunk (). The slide valve nozzle can be fixed to the base of the ladle by mountings () fitted with eyelets into which pivots () are inserted.
