SLAG POT TRANSPORTER AND TILTING VEHICLE (SPTTV)
SLAG POT TRANSPORTER AND TILTING VEHICLE (SPTTV)
The Hencon Slag Pot Transporter and Tilting Vehicle (SPTTV) has been designed with various specialised features enabling it to pick up, transport and tilt pots filled with high temperature (1750-1850°C) ferro- chromium slag or waste matter between furnaces and dumping sites.
The vehicle is equipped to transport approximately 10000kg (5m3) of ferro-chromium slag per duty cycle.
It’s configured as an articulated and oscillated power unit with a cabin at the front, and a U-frame trailer at the back featuring a single axis design for optimal maneuverability and tyre lifetime. A slag pot locking and tilting mechanism is mounted at the end of the transporter, which has a hydraulic tilting device for handling slag pots with a total weight of 23000kg. The tilting angle is 120 degrees.
The Hencon Slag Pot Carrier is intended for use in dusty, corrosive atmospheres typically associated with the ferro-chromium industry. Special focus was placed on ensuring visibility and safety when reversing during pick-up and placing.
Due to Hencon’s continuous improvement drive, this vehicle boasts improved efficiency, resulting in a 27% OPEX reduction (resulting from hydrostatics drive line, versus hydrodynamics, on this kind of high utilisation equipment).
