Construction
The Morgan Electric Ladle can be supplied either with slots for use with a forklift truck or with a bewel and geared tilting mechanism for use with an overhead crane.
The semi-embedded heater panels are positioned between the refractory ladle liner and the insulation backing, which is contained in a steel shell. The result is a very compact design suitable for forklift truck rotation fixtures. The ladle is fitted with a swing-aside refractory-lined cover to facilitate filling, cleaning and minimise heat loss. Standard power levels are chosen to provide a melt facility.
Safety interlocks are provided to sound an alarm should an attempt be made to move the ladle without removing the plugs and to signal the presence of metal in the heater chamber should liner failure occur. Conforms to Euronorm standards.
