Abstract
A cleaning machine for removing slag from the interior of a reaction ladle characterized in that the ladle is supported in upright position on a turntable for angular indexing about its vertical axis after each vertical band of slag has been chipped or broken away from the ladle by the tool of a downwardly actuated pneumatic hammer. The hammer is swingably adjustably connected to the tip of a boom which has its upper end swingably adjustably connected to a boom carriage, the carriage being vertically adjustably guided between a pair of columns extending upwardly beyond the upper end of the ladle from a base rearwardly adjacent the turntable. The machine is further characterized in the provision of a control booth above the ladle and laterally adjacent the columns from which the operator has an unobstructed view of the progress of the ladle cleaning operation to facilitate control of the operation of the turntable and the hammer, the swinging of the hammer and the boom, and the vertical positioning of the boom carriage.
