On top of properly identifying the optimal location for the nozzle in the region between the interface and the cathode, a fundamental approach to the quality of the tapping flow rates is also essential. The purpose of metal tapping is to quickly extract a precise amount of liquid aluminium which is as pure as possible. The main parameter to be considered during this operation is the mass flow of liquid aluminium which depends on the design and conditions of the tapping pipe, the intensity of the vacuum and the temperature of the ladle.

Several options on request (coating, hermetic packaging, complete maintenance kit, etc.)
Three mechanisms have been identified which are responsible for swallowing the bath during metal tapping :
Swallow start with the formation of chaotic vortices on the side of the tapping tube
Interfacial deformation takes place and stabilises behind the tube
The sampling mass flow and sampling tube are key parameters
But it has above all been shown that, even if the tightness of the crucible lid seal is crucial, it is also pivotal to ensure a perfect tightness of all the parts of the tapping pipe as well as at the connection junction between the cane and the ladle.
