The major roles of the Automatic Tundish Weight Control are:
- To free the operators from an exposed position and boring task
- To ensure stable and consistent casting operation
- To maximize refractory plate life
Vesuvius teams combine skills and experience in Ladle Slide Gates, Hydraulic, Refractories and Automation to provide a simple and performing Tundish Weight Control Solution that could also contribute to longer refractory plates life.
- Tundish weighing system
- Comparison with weight set-point
- Smart controller to control hydraulic valves
- Valves to drive ladle gate cylinder
- Ladle gate cylinder, VESUVIUS gate and refractories
Main features
- Precise tundish weight smart control with no need of gate position feedback
- Smart control to limit the actuation of the gate to the minimum and thus limit the plate erosion
- Position feedback available if requested, in which case the smart control solution can still operate as a back-up
- Full solution package including all components involved
