ILD - ELETROMAGNETIC MOULD LEVEL SENSORS AND CONTROL SYSTEM

The use of electromagnetic sensors for mould level measurement in continuous casting of steel is a worldwide common practice. Level stability, smooth regulation and fast response time are all features that improve process control and steel surface quality.

The Ergolines ILD 80-07 sensor is a new-generation inductive transducer designed for accurate and reliable mould level control in open-stream billet casters.
Sensor installation, directly on the stainless-steel water-jacket, is trouble-free and highly-protected, and it offers the best operating practice among all systems.
The system for one strand includes: sensor, heat-resistant cable, junction box, signal processing & control unit.
Typically, the ILD sensor is permanently installed in each mould, in a slot obtained in the water jacket (detail installation engineering is provided).

In combination with a Co60 radioactive level sensor, acting as main level control device, it becomes a mould powder thickness sensor for realizing automatic powder feeding control on billet and bloom casters.

Special versions of ILD for bloom and slab casters are also available.
