Product Introduction


The Tundish Preheating Device from LIWEI is designed to enhance casting stability and steel cleanliness by bringing the tundish to optimal temperature before pouring. This process minimizes thermal shock, prolongs the lining's service life, and ensures a consistent flow of molten steel. The device features rapid heating performance, advanced combustion control, and seamless integration with modern casting lines. Applicable in both small foundries and high-capacity continuous casting facilities, it offers a flexible and efficient solution that aligns with the demands of modern steelmaking.



Product Features


Advanced Thermal Control System

Equipped with a PLC-based control system and intuitive HMI interface, the preheater enables precise temperature regulation and real-time monitoring. This automation reduces manual errors and enhances operational stability across different production conditions.


High-Efficiency Combustion Technology

The system utilizes low-emission burners or electric heating elements to ensure uniform and efficient heat distribution. Optimized for minimal fuel usage, it helps reduce energy costs while supporting environmental compliance.


Rapid Heating and Uniform Temperature Distribution

Designed for fast thermal response, the device heats the tundish quickly and evenly. This prevents cold spots and temperature drops, which are common causes of casting defects such as cracks, inclusions, or inconsistent grain structure.
