Abstract

See full text

Method and installation for converting a metal in the liquid state into a fragmented metal in the solid state. The metal in the liquid state is poured on an upstream portion of a receiving surface (7) of a first cooled vibrating table (4). The metal falls from the downstream end of the first table on an upstream portion of a receiving surface (17) of a second cooled vibrating table (5). The fragmented and solidified metal is discharged at the downstream end of the receiving surface of that second table. A rotary fragmentation roller (102) may be positioned above a table. The tables comprise an upstream cooling zone (7) by means of a liquid/gas emulsion and a downstream cooling zone (17) by means of a liquid.
