MTM / BPS
MOULD THERMAL MONITORING
AND BREAKOUT SYSTEM

The mould is the most important section of a caster, where liquid steel forms a solid shell. An incorrect growth of the shell can cause a sticker, which leads to a breakout of the strand. This results in downtime of the caster and extensive repair work. The MTM/ BPS system performs real-time monitoring and analysis of the temperature maps of mould walls by means of a matrix of high- precision k-type thermocouples.
NEEDS
- Reduce sticking number and breakout risk
- Optimize casting process
ADVANTAGES
- Three rows of thermocouples
- Adaptive sticking recognition algorithm
- Real time mould thermal monitoring
- Post-processing analysis
