Tundish

To transfer liquid steel from a teeming ladle to the continuous casting machine mould, an intermediate vessel, called a tundish, is used.

Main components:
Supporting structure
Tilting frame
Gas burner
Combustion air fan
Hydraulic cylinder
Hydraulic power unit
Electrical control panel

Features:
a) Distribution of hot steel from ladle into the individual strand
b) Separation of remaining inclusions
c) Optimized shape of the tundish to have got optimal steel flow into moulds
d) Controlled temperature drop of the liquid steel
e) Triangle shape of the tundish to prevent the refractory lining apart from the tundish for distortion
