Abstract

A vibratory system and method for use in transferring molten metal. The vibratory system includes a vibrator which generates vibrational energy used to dislodge particulate positioned in a ladle for storing molten metal in an industrial molten metal transfer and manufacturing process. In one example, the vibratory system includes a transfer device for guiding the molten metal from the ladle and the vibrator is connected to the transfer device. In an example of a method for dislodging the particulate from the ladle, particulate is added to the ladle and vibrational energy is applied or transferred to the ladle to dislodge the particulate from the ladle allowing a flow of the molten metal to exit the ladle unobstructed by the particulate.

IPC Classes  ?

• B22D 37/00 - Controlling or regulating the pouring of molten metal from a casting melt-holding vessel
• B22D 41/22 - Closures sliding-gate type, i.e. having a fixed plate and a movable plate in sliding contact with each other for selective registry of their openings
• B22D 41/38 - Means for operating the sliding gate
• B22D 41/62 - Pouring-nozzles with stirring or vibrating means
