Pig iron casting is carrying out in pig casting machine. After complete production of alloy steel as per customer requirement, remaining molten pig iron is transferred to pig casting machine. To cast pig iron, ladle has to be tilt in order to pour pig iron constantly. During ladle tilting, several problems are facing such as, more effort required to tilt the ladle because more mass is concentrated at the bottom of ladle so when ladle is tilting from its top position it will not tilt properly. Since more mass is concentrated at the bottom, gear slip may occur, so chances of overflow of molten pig iron. Also initial tilting of ladle takes more time around 30 to 45 minutes and also after complete pouring lifting of ladle also takes place in the same manner as of tilting that consumes more time. In order to overcome all these problems, ladle tilting and lifting operation through hydraulic system is preferred.
