  1) Ladle turret

  Ladle turntable is used to turn the ladle to or out of the pouring position, mainly including straight arm type and butterfly type.

  2) Intermediate tank car

  The tundish truck carries the tundish filled with molten steel and runs between the set pouring position and baking position to realize the lifting, centering and weighing functions of the tundish.

  3) Crystallizer

  The crystallizer can rapidly cool the molten steel poured into it, and preliminarily condense and form according to the required section. Ensure that the shell of molten steel after the mold is out of the mold can withstand the static pressure of the internal molten steel that has not yet solidified.

  4) Crystallizer vibrating device

  The relative movement between the mold copper tube and the solidified shell of the casting slab is maintained, so that a good demoulding state and cooling and heat transfer effect are maintained between them. Mainly mechanical, hydraulic and electric cylinder vibration is widely used.

  5) Sector (guide section)

  The slab with liquid core comes out of the mold and enters the sector section (guide section), which is supported and guided by the sector section (guide section) roller and gradually solidifies.

  6) Tension leveler

  It is used to transport dummy bar, pull dummy bar and hot billet from crystallizer, and straighten hot billet according to minimum critical stress. After the slab enters the horizontal section, it is cut to length by the fire cutter or hydraulic shear, and then transported to the discharge roller table by the cut roller table.
