Introduction to the Press Coupling Machine

The Press Coupling Machine is a one-touch hydraulic press specifically designed for use with the CA Lance Type 6. It operates by applying hydraulic pressure to press the coupling onto the lance pipe, connecting a new pipe to the remaining section of a used lance pipe. This process maximizes resource utilization, minimizes pipe consumption, and helps control costs.

To ensure quick and secure pipe connections, the Press Coupling Machine uses hydraulic power ranging from 30 tons to 50 tons. This powerful force enables a tight connection with minimal risk of gas leaks, all with the simplicity of a one-touch operation.

Machine Structure

The Press Coupling Machine consists of three primary components:

• Coupling Press Mold
• Hydraulic Cylinder
• High-Pressure Hydraulic Pump

These components work together to ensure a seamless and efficient coupling process.

Product Compatibility: CA Lance Type 6

The Press Coupling Machine is specifically designed for pressing couplings onto the CA Lance Type 6, an oxygen-blowing pipe used in the metallurgical process. These pipes are partially or fully calorized and ceramic-coated both inside and out, except for a 200mm section that remains uncoated for coupling.

During operation, when a section of the lance pipe remains, the Press Coupling Machine allows for a quick and secure connection of the remaining pipe to a new one, thereby reducing waste and enhancing cost efficiency.

Technical Specifications

Below are the detailed technical specifications of the Press Coupling Machine:

This robust setup ensures that the press can handle a variety of pipe sizes with the right set, providing flexibility for different applications.

Step-by-Step Operation Guide

Here is a step-by-step guide to operating the Press Coupling Machine:

1. Preparation: Place the two lance pipes on the support to start the operation.
2. Insertion: Insert the uncoated end of one CA Lance Type 6 pipe into the coupling of the other until they are tightly connected.
3. Activation: Press the remote button switch and observe the ram’s piston as it advances.
4. Alignment Check: Stop pressing the button and ensure that both are aligned correctly.
5. Reset: Return the die to its starting position and turn off the main switch of the hydraulic pump.
6. Completion: The press work is now fully completed.

Following these steps ensures that the pipe connections are secure, precise, and safe.

Key Advantages

Using the Press Coupling Machine offers several significant benefits:

• No Pipe Threading Required: Simplifies the process by eliminating the need for threading.
• Fast and Safe Connections: High-speed operation with safety mechanisms in place.
• Minimized Gas Leaks: High hydraulic pressure ensures a leak-proof connection.
• Cost Efficiency: Reduces waste by utilizing leftover sections of pipes.

These advantages make the Press Coupling Machine an essential tool for efficient pipe coupling in the metallurgical industry.

Safety Precautions

For safe and effective operation of the Press Coupling Machine, please follow these precautions:

• Avoid Contact with the Press Mold: Do not place hands in the press mold area during operation.
• Strictly Follow Instructions: Adhere to the user manual to prevent mishandling.
• Use for Intended Purpose Only: Do not use the machine for any purpose other than coupling CA Lance Type 6.

Following these safety guidelines helps ensure a secure working environment and prevents potential damage to the machine.

Conclusion

The Press Coupling Machine is a highly specialized and efficient tool designed to enhance productivity and reduce operational costs when connecting CA Lance Type 6 pipes. By understanding its functions, technical specifications, and operation procedures, users can achieve quick, safe, and reliable results.
