Unstable molten steel flow and steel leakage are two major safety hazards in the continuous casting process. Achieving precise flow control and eliminating steel leakage are critical to ensuring steel quality and production safety. ZTMaterial provides safe, reliable, and precisely controlled ladle slide gate plate solutions to ensure your production safety and product quality.
Precise Flow Control: Molten Steel Flow Fluctuation Reduced by 50%
Unstable molten steel flow directly affects billet quality and can lead to various defects. ZTMaterial utilizes an advanced hydraulic/electric drive system with a response time of <0.5 seconds and an aperture adjustment accuracy of ±0.3MM. This ensures stable molten steel flow, reduces casting fluctuations, and decreases molten steel flow fluctuation by 50%, significantly improving steel quality.
Precise flow control relies on a high-performance drive system.
| Driving Method | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
| Hydraulic Drive | Fast response speed (<0.5 seconds), high output force, high control accuracy (±0.3MM) | Requires a hydraulic system, higher maintenance costs, higher environmental requirements. |
| Electric Drive | High control accuracy (±0.3MM), low maintenance costs, low environmental requirements. | Relatively slow response speed, relatively low output force. |
High-precision aperture control ensures stable molten steel flow. We recommend choosing a slide gate plate with automatic control functions that automatically adjust the aperture based on the molten steel level or casting speed to achieve precise flow control.
Real-time monitoring of molten steel flow allows for the timely detection and correction of deviations. Employ flow meters, level meters, and other sensors to monitor molten steel flow in real-time and feed the data back to the control system to achieve closed-loop control.
Eliminate Steel Leakage: Triple Sealing for Worry-Free Safety
Molten steel leakage is a serious production safety hazard that can lead to personal injury and equipment damage. ZTMaterial utilizes a triple sealing design (graphite + metal + ceramic fiber) to effectively prevent molten steel leakage and ensure production safety.
| Sealing Layer | Material | Function |
|---|---|---|
| First Layer | Graphite | Provides good high-temperature performance and self-lubrication, effectively prevents molten steel leakage, and is not easily deformed at high temperatures. |
| Second Layer | Metal | Has high strength and wear resistance, further prevents molten steel leakage, and withstands pressure. |
| Third Layer | Ceramic Fiber | Has good high-temperature resistance and sealing properties, provides a degree of protection even if the first two layers fail, offering additional security. |
Employing advanced control technologies and safety designs is critical to ensuring steel quality and production safety. ZTMaterial is committed to providing you with safe, reliable, and precisely controlled ladle slide gate solutions.
