How to Correctly Replace the Ladle Slide Plate

Slide Gate for Ladle

The ladle slider, as the core equipment in the steel smelting process, is of great importance. Its main responsibility is to ensure that the molten steel can be poured out of the smelting furnace smoothly and safely, while maintaining the sealing state of the furnace, which is the key to the quality of the molten steel and production safety.
The ladle slider is exquisitely designed. It consists of reinforced steel plates and a flexible slider system. It pre-bears the weight of the molten steel and accurately controls the flow speed and direction of the molten steel. During use, the ladle slider accurately guides the molten steel to the target position along a specific slope and diversion path.
In order to ensure its necessary and safe operation, the sealing and safety of the slider must be strictly checked before use. During use, it is necessary to continue to pay attention to safety measures to avoid molten steel splashing and injuring people. At the same time, keep the slider system clean and replace aging sliders regularly to maintain production efficiency and work safety. In short, the ladle slider is an equipment in steel smelting. Its performance and status directly affect production efficiency and product quality. Therefore, correct use and maintenance are essential.

The replacement process of the ladle hot repair slide mainly includes the following steps:

1. Preparation: First, clean the residue and dirt inside the ladle and ensure that the working area is clean and tidy. At the same time, prepare the necessary tools and materials, such as ladle hot repair slide, welding equipment, hand tools, etc.

2. Removing the old slide: Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to use welding equipment and hand tools to gradually peel away the old slide. This step needs to be done carefully to avoid causing damage to the inside of the ladle.

3. Cleaning and treating the bottom plate: After removing the old slide plate, the ladle bottom plate needs to be cleaned and treated. This includes removing the residue and dirt on the bottom plate and performing the necessary repair and surface preparation work to ensure the adhesion and stability of the new slide plate.

4. Install the new slide plate: Paste or install the new ladle hot repair slide plate on the base plate according to the design requirements. This may involve the use of appropriate adhesives, welding or bolting methods. Ensure that the new slide plate is installed well and tightly connected to the base plate.

5. Inspection and finishing: After the installation is completed, the inside of the ladle needs to be thoroughly inspected and finished. This includes checking the installation quality of the slide plate, the fastening of the connectors, the welding quality, etc. to ensure the stability and sealing of the overall structure.

6. End of work: Finally, clean up the work area, properly dispose of waste and residues, and return tools and equipment to their original locations.

Note‌: In actual operation, adjustments should be made according to the specific situation and follow the relevant operating procedures. If you are interested in the ladle slide mechanism solutions and products, please contact us!
