Description
Its time to upgrade the performance of your degassing
equipment with the new QUAD-Zilla Degassing Shaft
and Rotor from MMEI!
The QUAD-Zilla Rotor offers the latest advancements
for superior degassing performance through enhanced
bubble shearing and metal stirring. Unlike many other
rotors in the market, the QUAD-Zilla increases metal
movement, thereby, ensuring that all the metal in the
ladle is treated. It effectively eliminates dead spots
in the ladle and assures an even bubble dispersion
pattern throughout the ladle. The shearing action of
this rotor is outstanding, the best in the market, shearing
the gas into small bubbles even at low RPM’s. The
benefit to the user is better metal through faster, more
effective degassing while using less gas.
The shaft features our RHINO Sleeve, our newest innovation
for increasing the service life of the shaft.
Positioned on the shaft at the metal line to provide additional
protection for the graphite from oxidation, the
RHINO Sleeve is a refractory material molded directly
onto the graphite for improved bonding. By molding
the RHINO Sleeve directly onto the graphite, we
have achieved a sleeve that has dramatically improved
resistance to thermal shock and cracking. The result
is a sleeve which increases the service life of the shaft
through improved resistance to wear and oxidation.
The QUAD-Zilla can be provided with most thread connections
for retrofitting to your equipment. If you are
looking for complete degassing equipment, MMEI can
provide you with complete ladle degassing stations or
in-line units. Please contact us for more information.

QUAD-Zilla Degassing Rotor and Shaft
Product HighLights
♦ Upgrade the performance of your degassing equipment!
♦ Unique QUAD-Zilla Rotor offers the following benefits:
• Superior shearing of inert gas bubbles increases
surface reaction area for better metal treatment.
• Pumping action creates subsurface movement of the
metal to eliminate dead spots at the bottom of the
ladle, ensuring complete metal treatment.
• Effectively removes more hydrogen and other impurities
from your metal than other systems.
• Degas your metal faster and better with less gas!
♦ Shaft features our new RHINO Sleeve!
• Positioned at the metal line to provide additional
protection from wear and oxidation.
• Molded onto the shaft for superior adhesion to graphite,
prevents premature cracking and separation.
♦ All graphite components are treated for oxidation resistance
to signifcantly increase service life.
♦ Maximize your productivity by reducing the time it takes to
treat your metal.
♦ Fast, easy assembly.
♦ Self-aligning design eliminates need for an alignment
fixture - simplifies assembly and repair.
♦ Can be provided with most thread connections and in any
shaft length for easy retrofitting to your equipment.
The above picture demonstates the dramatic improvement
in the dispersion of the inert gas bubbles and
metal movement. Metal from the bottom of the ladle is
drawn upward by the rotation of the rotor, eliminating
untreated dead spots.
