Advanced Mold Level Control with LevCon

LevCon is a mold level control system designed to optimize continuous casting operations in the steel industry. Steel producers face challenges such as maintaining high-quality production with minimal defects, ensuring consistent operations, and enhancing safety while reducing downtime. LevCon addresses these challenges by increasing operational safety through automatic start procedures and dynamic parameter adaptation. It effectively reduces the impact of varying flow conditions and unsteady bulging effects using advanced model-based control algorithms. With compatibility across all major measuring systems, LevCon ensures seamless integration and superior performance.

LevCon fulfills critical demands of steel producers by compensating for varying flow conditions in the mold and reducing the impact of unsteady bulging effects and clogging of the submerged entry nozzle (SEN). It significantly improves the start of the casting process in hazardous environments and enhances quality by reducing mold-level fluctuations. The system enhances operational safety through automatic start procedures and dynamic parameter adaptation, optimizing the casting process with advanced control algorithms and compensation techniques. LevCon ensures high-quality steel production with minimal defects, maintaining consistent and efficient casting operations while enhancing safety and reducing downtime.
