Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03014646A1] Molten metal is tapped from an aluminium electrolytic furnace to a crucible (10) having a substantially circular cross-section supported in a transporting device with the axis (20) of the crucible (10) substantially horizontal. The crucible (10) has end walls (24) provided with means (44) for horizontal suspension of the crucible in the transporting device via a support structure (12) comprising two parallel, spaced guides (58) to be mounted in the transporting device displaceable along a ramp, and two crucible-support members (54) displaceably accomodated in a respective one of the two guides. A carriage for use in tapping molten metal from aluminium electrolytic furnaces comprises a crucible (10) and a support structure (12) as described above.
