Abstract

Abstract A portable slag beneficiating plant comprises lengthwise adjacent first and second stage sizing devices with an intermediate magnetically operated separating unit arranged to deliver separated metallics to the second stage sizing device and to deliver the separated non-metallic slag to a conveyor for remote accumulation. The first and second stage sizing devices in the slag beneficiating plant and the magnetic separating unit which incorporates a feed conveyor belt and the disposal slag conveyor are individually operated by hydraulic motor subject to the control of individual valves and supplied from a common source of hydraulic fluid pressure enabling the individual sizing separating and conveying devices in the portable slag beneficiating plant to be operated at different speeds and capacities manually variable continuously to expedite rapid and efficient handling of large quantities of slag by the plant.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 262 words
In a portable slag beneficiating plant for processing steel mill slag and separating metallic pieces therefrom and classifying the metallic pieces as to particle size, a frame, a feed hopper on said frame, support springs on said frame, an inclined grizzly on said support springs and positioned beneath said feed hopper, an eccentric device attached to said inclined grizzly for oscillating the same, a magnetic separating roll and a conveyor belt extending from beneath said inclined grizzly to and trained over said magnetic separating roll and arranged to drive the same, second support springs on said frame, a second grizzly on said second support spring and positioned beneath said magnetic separating roll, a second eccentric device attached to said second grizzly for oscillating the same, said second grizzly arranged to receive metallic pieces from said magnetic separating roll and a second belt conveyor extending from beneath a portion of said second grizzly to a point adjacent one end of said frame, a source of fluid pressure, a hydraulic motor connected to said first mentioned eccentric device for actuating the same, a second hydraulic motor connected to said eccentric device for actuating the same, a third hydraulic motor connected to said magnetic separating roll for driving the same and the first mentioned conveyor belt and a fourth hydraulic motor connected to said second conveyor for moving the same, hydraulic piping interconnecting said source of fluid pressure and said hydraulic motors individually and throttle valves controlling said piping whereby said hydraulic motors may be individually controlled by the individual manipulation of said throttle valves.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 262 words
In a portable slag beneficiating plant for processing steel mill slag and separating metallic pieces therefrom and classifying the metallic pieces as to particle size, a frame, a feed hopper on said frame, support springs on said frame, an inclined grizzly on said support springs and positioned beneath said feed hopper, an eccentric device attached to said inclined grizzly for oscillating the same, a magnetic separating roll and a conveyor belt extending from beneath said inclined grizzly to and trained over said magnetic separating roll and arranged to drive the same, second support springs on said frame, a second grizzly on said second support spring and positioned beneath said magnetic separating roll, a second eccentric device attached to said second grizzly for oscillating the same, said second grizzly arranged to receive metallic pieces from said magnetic separating roll and a second belt conveyor extending from beneath a portion of said second grizzly to a point adjacent one end of said frame, a source of fluid pressure, a hydraulic motor connected to said first mentioned eccentric device for actuating the same, a second hydraulic motor connected to said eccentric device for actuating the same, a third hydraulic motor connected to said magnetic separating roll for driving the same and the first mentioned conveyor belt and a fourth hydraulic motor connected to said second conveyor for moving the same, hydraulic piping interconnecting said source of fluid pressure and said hydraulic motors individually and throttle valves controlling said piping whereby said hydraulic motors may be individually controlled by the individual manipulation of said throttle valves.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 66 words
The portable slag beneficiating plant set forth in claim 1 and wherein a third conveyor is disposed beneath said second grizzly and said second grizzly is arranged to separate metallic pieces into at least three size ranges, said second conveyor belt positioned to receive one of said three size ranges of metallic pieces and convey them to a point spaced with respect to said second grizzly.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 56 words
The portable slag beneficiating plant set forth in claim 1 and wherein said first and second grizzlys include spaced bars, vertical vanes on the bars of said first grizzly, the bars of the second grizzly being wider and hence more closely spaced at their ends beneath said magnetic separator roll with respect to their opposite ends.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 40 words
The portable slag beneficiating plant set forth in claim 1 and wherein said throttle valves are positioned in a group at a location on said plant from which the feed hopper, the grizzlys and the magnetic separator roll are visible.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 31 words
The portable slag beneficiating plant set forh in claim 1 and wherein said conveyor extends from a point below said first grizzly on an incline upwardly to said magnetic separating roll.
