Enhancing Quality and Flexibility in Steel Production
The Continuous Billet Casting Machine from Primetals Technologies is a marvel of modern steel production, designed to meet the growing demands for higher quality, faster casting speeds, and greater production flexibility. These compact and modularly designed billet casters are tailored to produce billets for rolling into merchant bars, including specialty steels for high-end applications.
Our Billet Casting Machine incorporates state-of-the-art technologies to deliver superior performance. The Dynaphase technology calculates temperature-dependent material properties, optimizing the casting process for various steel grades. The automatic mold-level-control system, LevCon, optimizes mold filling and reduces deviations, thereby enhancing billet quality. The leading breakout prevention and mold monitoring system, Mold Expert, offers real-time monitoring and breakout prevention, further enhancing the reliability of the casting process. The Dynacs 3D secondary cooling model determines the point of final strand solidification, ensuring consistent quality. DynaGap Soft Reduction 3D provides complete dynamic thickness control, minimizing centerline segregation and improving internal strand quality. Single Roll DynaGap for Soft and Hard Reduction offers optimized soft and hard reduction at varying casting conditions, ensuring maximum thickness reduction. ShapeMon, a contactless optical measurement system, provides real-time data on billet speed, length, cross-section, and weight, ensuring precise control and quality.
