Tundish Gate Changers

Tundish Gate Changers

VESUVIUS is the Tundish Tube Changer Gates pioneer.
Its port folio includes original VESUVIUS systems for slab casters (GTC, C71SE, Delta T, RSEM1, ...) and their up-to-date developments such as the RSEM III and GTC2085. In-mold hot tube change without cast interruption and tundish lift.



Advantages of our Tundish Gate Changers:

  • User-friendly
  • Systems using optimized refractory patterns
  • Advanced automation packages for mould level control
  • Tube change mostly achieved at extraction speed higher than the minimum acceptable for the slab quality consistency
  • For extra-long casting times, some VESUVIUS tundish gate changers allow a central plate exchange
  • Provided with 3 plates to avoid any movement of the submerged entry shroud in the mould during the flow control by throttling
