Molten Metal Pumps
Vertical and Horizontal Molten Metal Pumps
Molten metal pumps are used in foundries, steel mills and other industrial plants where metals and other materials are processed. They are also used in the production of alloys, ceramics and glass. The molten material is pumped from one container to another, or through a system of pipes for melting, heating, cooling and solidifying. Molten metal pumps are made of alloys that can withstand the high temperatures and corrosive environments found in these plants.
The molten material is often under high pressure, so the pump must have a strong casing and impellers. The impellers must also be corrosion-resistant to withstand the high temperatures and chemical attack. Some molten metal pumps use high-speed motors to create the required pumping pressure.
There are many different types of molten metal pumps, each designed for a specific application. Some pumps are suitable for pumping aluminum, while others are used for pumping steel. There are also pumps that can handle alloys with a wide range of compositions. The type of pump you need depends on the type of molten material you are pumping and the characteristics of the process.
