The R3.0m continuous caster in Malaysia was successfully put into production

The R3.0m two-strand continuous casting machine of MALAYSIA "ESTABLISHED STEEL COILS SDN BHD.", built by our company was successfully hot-tested at one time on February 10, 2025. The continuous caster is an intermediate link supporting two sets of 6t intermediate frequency furnaces and 360 rolling mills, realizing the perfect connection of steelmaking-continuous casting-rolling mill. The billet directly charges into the rolling mill without the heating furnace, which not only reduces the investment of the heating furnace but also greatly saves energy costs, and realizes the purpose of green energy saving and environmental protection.

The two-strand CCM casts the billet of 60mm*60mm-100mm*100mm.  In order to ensure the high pulling speed, the integral vibration table is equipped in the caster to get low amplitude and high vibration frequency. Automatic water distribution in the secondary cooling zone ensures the billet quality and rolling temperature. The withdrawal and straightening machine is designed with three-roll drives. The pulling roller, bearing seat and hot shield are all designed with internal water cooling to ensure the temperature of the billet. Since the cut-to-length of the continuous casting billet is less than 2.0m, in order to ensure the cutting speed and reduce the cutting loss and energy consumption, the continuous casting billet uses the 45ºdiagonal hydraulic shear for automatic cutting. The above design meets the parameter requirements of the rolling mill for billet casting, and realizes the perfect match of steelmaking-continuous casting-rolling steel.
