Advanced Bloom Casting Technology for Optimized Performance
Whether establishing a new plant or modernizing an existing facility, this approach has been proven in more than 100 installations worldwide. Support is provided not only during the project phase but also throughout integration, ramp-up to full production, and beyond, enabled by comprehensive lifecycle management services.
By utilizing advanced technological packages and following the Connect & Cast® principle, the shortest start-up times in the industry are achieved. The modular solution approach effectively addresses all technological requirements and production demands for both new and existing casters, including the production of carbon, stainless, and special steel grades.
The Bloom Casting Machine from Primetals Technologies incorporates several advanced features to enhance the casting process. The DynaPhase system calculates temperature-dependent material properties, optimizing the casting process for various steel grades. The integration of LiquiRob enhances safety and efficiency by automating hazardous tasks, while LevCon ensures precise mold level control, reducing deviations and improving product consistency. MoldExpert offers real-time monitoring and breakout prevention, further enhancing the reliability of the casting process.
The Dynacs 3D system provides a dynamic secondary cooling model with a three-dimensional temperature profile, ensuring stable strand surface temperatures even under transient casting conditions. Moreover, the DynaGap Soft Reduction® 3D ensures fully dynamic thickness control, minimizing centerline segregation and improving internal strand quality. The Single Roll DynaGap for Soft and Hard Reduction provides optimal thickness reduction, ensuring superior internal quality and reduced center porosity.
