INTECO melting and casting technologies GmbH

Over the last years the customer request for high quality casting powder was growing and we offer a huge range of granulated and powder casting flux. The modern casting flux has to achieve the requirements of each specific caster and steel quality for thermal isolation, absorption and dissolution of non-metallic inclusions, lubrication in the mold, homogenize and optimize the heat transfer. Especially by peritectic steel grade the homogeny heat transfer is necessary to obtain a well-balanced cooling and solidification of steel for preventing the formation of cracks.

Function The stopper rod mechanism is an integral part of the automatic stopper rod control system of a continuous casting machine which regulates the steel flow from the tundish to the mold.

It is a mechanical device with a vertically moveable stopper rod to control the flow rate. The vertical movement can be controlled either manually by a gear lever or automatically by an actuator. The stopper rod mechanism includes facilities for precision guiding, adjustment and position locking of the stopper.
