The invention relates to a device and to a method for sensing a conveying rate at which liquid material is filled into a metallurgical target vessel (6) from a pivotable starting vessel (4). For this purpose, means for determining an amount of liquid material with which the initial vessel (4) has been filled and means for sensing an amount of the liquid material which is discharged toward the target vessel (6) or filled into the target vessel (6) by pivoting of the starting vessel (4) are provided.

A system and equipment to measure and control the feeding of load material into an electrical arc furnace (EAF) includes an automatic control device feeding the load material; a measuring device positioned between the EAF and the tilting platform that includes an upper plate adapted to slide against the EAF, a lower plate engaged to the tilting platform, and a ring structure therebetween having a peripheral ring wall, a ring plate extending across the ring structure, and a contact member coupled to the ring plate that upperly contacts the upper plate and lowerly approaches, without contacting the lower plate; and one or more sensors measuring a deformation of the ring plate upon application of a load on the upper plate.

Equipment for the measurement and control of load material and scrap metal feeding into an electrical arc furnace includes an automatic control device for feeding control of load material or scrap according to the energy supplied to the bath, and a measuring device for the added load material, in correlation with the automatic control device, and a weighing device for the furnace shell, its contents and any other components it may support.

The present invention relates to a multistage vertical graphitization furnace system including a feed part including a silo where raw materials are stored, a low-temperature treatment part having a low-temperature heat treatment furnace which receives the raw materials from the feed part, and heats the raw materials to remove impurities, a high-temperature treatment part having a high-temperature heat treatment furnace to produce synthetic graphite, a cooling part for water-cooling the synthetic graphite produced in the high-temperature treatment part, and a discharge part for taking out the synthetic graphite discharged from the cooling part.
