Continuous casting machine is a key equipment in the steel industry, and its working principle is to directly cast molten metal into long strip or slab shaped castings through continuous casting. It is an important link in the entire steel production line, which is of great significance in improving production efficiency and reducing costs.
The continuous casting machine mainly consists of a casting machine, crystallizer, roller system, shear machine, cooling unit, etc. During the working process, the molten metal is first injected into the crystallizer through the casting machine. The crystallizer is the core component of the continuous casting machine, which has a series of water-cooled copper plates inside. The metal is rapidly cooled by the circulating cooling water inside, thereby forming a billet.
At the exit of the crystallizer, the billet enters the roller system. The roller table system consists of a series of roller tables and roller table mechanisms, which are used to smoothly take the casting billet out of the mold and send it to the next process. The design of the roller mechanism should ensure a stable and uniform conveying speed to ensure the quality and dimensional accuracy of the casting billet.
After passing through the roller system, the billet enters the shearing machine. The shear machine is a key equipment in the continuous casting machine, whose main function is to cut the billet into the required length according to needs. The shear machine has the characteristics of high speed and precision, and can be automatically adjusted according to production needs to ensure that the length accuracy of the cut billet meets the requirements.
After the cutting is completed, the billet enters the cooling unit. The cooling unit mainly uses water spray and air cooling methods to quickly cool the casting billet to the required temperature. The purpose of cooling is to rapidly solidify the surface of the billet, thereby improving the quality and surface smoothness of the billet.
The working principle of a continuous casting machine can be summarized as the following steps: first, the melting and purification process of the metal, heating the raw material to the melting temperature, and removing impurities through purification equipment; Then there is the casting process, where molten metal is injected into the mold to form a billet; Next is the conveying process of the roller system, which smoothly takes the billet out of the mold and sends it to the next process; Finally, there is the shearing and cooling process, where the shearing machine cuts the billet into the required length and rapidly cools it through the cooling unit.
As a key equipment in the steel industry, the optimization and improvement of the working principle of continuous casting machines is of great significance for improving production efficiency and quality. HANI TECH continuously develops new technologies and equipment, improves the working principle of the continuous casting machine, improves production efficiency, and ensures product quality. I believe that with the continuous progress of technology, the position of continuous casting machines in the steel industry will become increasingly important, making greater contributions to the development of the industry.
