Inoculation feeder COBRA

• High precision micro vibrating dosing inoculants feeder with integrated weighing system for inoculation into the pouring jet
• For KW SLS pouring equipment and other pouring devices
• Automatic correction of deviations by weighing system
• High security by different security equipments
• Quality assurance by memorization of each inoculated batch
• Substantial savings of inoculant versus inoculation into the ladle

In the production of quality cast iron the inoculation process is of vital importance. When comparing un-inoculated andinoculated irons, differences in microstructures are easilyrevealed, which again will strongly affect the final mechanicalproperties of the casting. Through inoculation the graphitenucleation and eutectic under cooling of the iron can becontrolled and this will be of crucial importance giving the ironits required service properties.

The KW SLS inoculation feeder has been developed for anautomatic, precise and optimal dosing directly into the pouringjet. This guarantees the best possible effect. There is no fadingand the treatment is very uniform. Inoculating into the pouringjet increases the metallurgical quality of the casting and at thesame time allows to save inoculants.

Highest accuracy of inoculation

Each inoculation quantity is controlled by the load cells of the incorporated weighing system and the inoculation amount is optimized after each pour. This method allows highest inoculation accuracy.

Optimal inoculation security

• Special pneumatic injector valve system mounted in the transport tube, for an optimal distribution of inoculants
• Level control on the silo, with alarm alert
• Flow control
• Anti-clogging device by pressure transducer
• Calibration and test functions

Simple to use

• Setting and adjustment on the touch panel.
• Setting of inoculation quantity directly in g/s.
• Presetting of begin and duration of inoculation.
