Stationary Treatment
Trident™ Automatic Rotary Degassing and Flux Injection System
While rotary degassing has long been recognized as the fastest degassing method, rotary flux injection systems have failed to provide predictable dependable results until now.
The Trident™ system ensures ideal outcomes every time through repeatable dosing, precise mixing dynamics, and PLC controlled sequencing - bringing the ease of “one-button operation” and touch-panel programming to your plant floor!
Key Features
Direct Drive
PLC/VFD control and a direct drive induction motor ensure accurate and repeatable rotor action and mixing dynamics. Unlike belt-driven rotor assemblies, the direct drive VFD controlled induction motor turns at the programmed RPM every time.
Auger-based Flux Metering
PLC/VFD controlled auger-based flux metering system ensures highly repeatable flux dosing. The mechanical motion of the auger feeds powdered flux into a gas transport system that moves the flux through the hollow rotor shaft to be dispensed under the molten aluminum where maximum mixing occurs.
One-Button Operation
Operators can initiate the fluxing and degassing operation with the press of a single button. This ensures easy operation even while wearing protective gear such as gloves, face mask, etc.
Touch Panel Programming
A heavy-duty touch panel (HMI) provides operators with an easy interface for setting fluxing and degassing parameters. The programming features can be password protected to prevent unauthorized user changes to the recipes.
Portable Treatment
Rotoject™ Portable Flux Injection Cart
The Rotoject™ portable flux injection cart introduces flux under the surface oxide layer to remove inclusions in the liquid metal bath, with the ability to dose multiple furnaces and/or crucibles within minutes.
Nitrogen from a canister mounted directly to the cart feeds a metered flux feeding system to provide consistent dosing, mitigate clumping, and reduce unnecessary waste.
Optional Features
Low Flux Monitor
Prevent operation with an empty flux canister. Detect “low-flux” condition within the flux canister and halt operation until the canister is replenished. This feature safeguards against initiating a flux injection process with insufficient flux.
Remote Monitor
Upgrade to the remote monitor capability to allow the Trident™ or Rotoject™ to be monitored in a remote location. The remote monitor duplicates the view of the HMI via a web browser for easy viewing.
Thermocouple Monitor
Monitor and record metal temperature. The thermocouple is connected to the PLC and metal temperatures are recorded at the beginning and end of the flux injection sequence.
Multimedia HMI
The base unit includes a touch-screen HMI for programming and operation, while the Multimedia HMI includes video maintenance guides.
Network Data Logging
Log data to network storage to track metal temperatures, process times, etc.
