Summary

The production line is designed for making from copper and its alloys round and rectangular section work pieces in various sizes using the method of continuous horizontal casting.

Description

The production line is based on the following operational principle: molten metal is transferred from a mixing unit into a mold cavity. Then the solidified section is drawn with a withdrawal-roll set and is cut into specific length parts with a cutting unit.
The continuous horizontal casting production line consists of:
