Continuous Casting Machine Project News
Ethiopian "STEELY R.M.I PLC" R6.0m Three-Strand Continuous Casting Machine was successfully put into production
The continuous casting machine project of STEELY R.M.I PLC in Ethiopia was carried out in October 2023 for technical exchanges, and the business contract signed in December 2023. The project is the company's largest steelmaking one which can fully meet the demand for continuous casting billets for steel rolling after the project is put into operation, not need to import continuous casting billets. Therefore it can greatly reduce the use of foreign exchange, reduce production costs, and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.
The project is built with one three-strand, R6.0m continuous casting machine to cast the billet of 120mm*120mm, 130mm *130mm and 150mm*150mm. The designed annual output is 300,000 tons of carbon structural steel and alloy steel.
The continuous caster configuration mainly includes as follows.
1. 50t ladle turret with the insulation cover and weighing system;
2. The mold level control system with Se-137;
3. Full secondary cooling water distribution;
4. Three-driven withdrawal straightening machine with inner-cooled motor, reducer and bearing seat;
5. All bearings are centralized lubricated with glycerin;
6. 45º diagonal hydraulic shears
7. Mechanical trolley billet pusher
Some main equipment pictures equipped in the above caster are as follows.
