Method and device for supplying zinc ingots from a zinc pot of a galvanizing line

摘要

P Method for feeding a pot of zinc (4) into ingots (6, 6 ") taken from a storage area by a handling device, which comprises a gripper gripping one end (8 ', 8") ingot (6 ', 6 "), the ingots being brought over the zinc pot (4) and lowered slowly into it, characterized by the following operations: BR/ - a) the ingot (6') is fed to an inclined supply table (2 ') whose bottom end (7, 7 ") is above the zinc pot (4); BR/ - b) the ingot (6 ', 6 ") is slid along the table; BR/ - c) when the ingot (6") has been almost completely immersed in the zinc bath ( 5), a receptacle (21, 21 ') held in the zinc bath (5) in a rest position (21') is placed below the unmelted upper end (8 ") of the ingot ( 6 "); BR/ d) said upper end (8 ") of the ingot is released, and BR/ e) said receptacle (21) goes back to its rest position. / P
