A system for removing molten metal from a vessel is disclosed. The system includes a pump and a refractory casing that houses the pump. As the pump operates it moves molten metal upward through an uptake section of the casing until it reaches an outlet wherein it exits the vessel. The outlet may be attached to a launder. Another system uses a wall to divide a cavity of the chamber into two portions. The wall has an opening and a pump pumps molten metal from a first portion into a second portion until the level in the second portion reaches an outlet and exits the vessel.

A dross processing assembly includes a stirring station at which dross in a first dross recovery vessel is stirred and a pressing station at which previously stirred dross in a second dross recovery vessel is pressed simultaneously with the stirring of the dross in the first dross recovery vessel. The stirring station and the pressing station may be commonly housed in an enclosure. A conveyor system may advance dross recovery vessels through the dross processing assembly for continuous dross processing.

The invention relates to systems for transferring molten metal from one structure to another. Aspects of the invention include a transfer chamber constructed inside of or next to a vessel used to retain molten metal. The transfer chamber is in fluid communication with the vessel so molten metal from the vessel can enter the transfer chamber. A powered device, which may be inside of the transfer chamber, moves molten metal upward and out of the transfer chamber and preferably into a structure outside of the vessel, such as another vessel or a launder.

A method of generating a trained model includes: a step of acquiring a process state parameter for every single charge (S110); a step of performing preprocessing by applying machine learning to a data set of one or more process state parameters acquired through m charges (where m is an integer of 2 or greater) (S130); a step of generating a learning data set (S140); and a step of generating a trained model (S150). The learning data set is generated based on n-dimensional features (where n is an integer of 1 or greater) that have been extracted through the preprocessing, and at least contains one or more process target parameters representing process fundamental information that is set for every single charge.

A device of regulating a melting speed of an aluminum alloy smelting furnace burner. The device includes: a natural-gas flow-rate regulating assembly, an air flow regulating assembly; a natural gas burner, connected to the natural-gas flow-rate regulating assembly and the air flow regulating assembly and mounted in a melting zone of the melting furnace to melt aluminum alloy into an aluminum liquid; a scum filtration assembly, including a ceramic tube connected to a ceramic filter cylinder, a foam ceramic filter plate being merged in an aluminum liquid thermal-insulation pool; a rangefinder, mounted above the scum filter assembly; a controller for obtaining weights of the aluminum liquid corresponding to two adjacent time points, obtaining the actual melting speed according to a difference in the weights, and regulating the flow rate of the natural gas and the air flow to adjust the actual melting speed to reach a target melting speed.
