The invention relates to a remelting plant comprising a furnace chamber (), which can be positioned over a crucible () of a melting station, an electrode rod (), which by way of a lead-through () can be inserted or is inserted in the furnace chamber (), in order to contact a consumable electrode (), and a guide column (), on which an electrode rod carriage () that is fixed-ly connected to the electrode rod () is guided in an axially movable manner, in order to move the electrode rod () in relation to the furnace chamber (), and on which a chamber carriage (), which is connected or can be connected to the furnace chamber (), is guided in an axially movable manner, in order to move the furnace chamber (). The guide column () is articulatedly connected at a first end to a rotary column () such that the guide column () can be inclined in re-lation to the rotary column () and can be rotated together with the rotary column () about the axis of rotation () of the rotary column (). The guide column () has in the region of the first end a weighing device (), which is preferably attached to the rotary column ().

Remelting plant and method for operating a remelting plant

Melting plant having a melting chamber which by way of a gas protection hood is separated from the environment, wherein the gas protection hood or another part of the melting chamber encasement has a lead through in which an electrode rod for moving an electrode to be melted is guided in a gas-tight manner by way of a sealing means. Hydraulic or pneumatic equalisation means, for exerting on the electrode rod equalisation forces which are in a proportional correlation with the gas pressure prevailing within the melting chamber are provided so as to compensate for the gas-pressure forces acting on the electrode rod.

Melting plant and method

In the apparatus for distilling molten baths, substantially comprising a two-part vacuum tank ( ), a melting crucible ( ) disposed in the bottom housing part ( ) of the vacuum tank and surrounded by a heating coil ( ), a hat-shaped metal vapor condenser ( ) held in the top housing part ( ) of the vacuum tank ( ), and a draining channel ( ) disposed between the melting crucible ( ) and the metal vapor condenser ( ), a filter element ( ) penetrated by a metal vapor thermometer ( ) plus probe ( ) is provided above the metal vapor condenser ( ) in an opening ( ) of the top housing part ( ), wherein both the filter pot ( ) surrounding the filter element ( ), as well as the space ( ) behind the coil, as well as the top housing part ( ) are connected by separate individual vacuum lines ( ) to a vacuum source ( ).
