【Industry Background and Trends】
With increasing global attention on carbon emissions, the steel industry, as a major carbon emitter, faces unprecedented decarbonization pressure. During the transition from the "long process" (BF-BOF) to the "short process" (EAF), the Continuous Casting Machine (CCM) serves as the critical bridge between steelmaking and rolling. Its technological level directly determines the steel plant's production efficiency and energy consumption. How to reduce energy usage and minimize solid waste generation without sacrificing output has become a shared challenge across the industry.
【Our CCM Technology and Environmental Advantages】
Leveraging years of design and manufacturing expertise, we have launched a new generation of low-carbon, high-efficiency Continuous Casting Machine systems, designed to provide clients with "high-yield, low-consumption, and green" casting solutions. Through innovative technical pathways, we achieve significant decarbonization results across three key dimensions:
1. Energy-Efficient Electromagnetic Stirring (EMS) Technology:
EMS is critical for ensuring billet quality during continuous casting. Our independently developed dynamic control EMS system precisely regulates the molten steel flow field within the mold, effectively promoting the flotation of bubbles and inclusions. This not only significantly reduces center segregation and internal cracks, greatly improving the billet's internal density, but also stabilizes the casting speed without additional power loss, thereby reducing electricity consumption per ton of steel produced.
2. Intelligent Dynamic Secondary Cooling Water System:
To address thermal stress challenges in high-temperature billets, we have introduced an AI-based dynamic secondary cooling water system. This system automatically adjusts cooling water flow in real time based on steel grade, casting speed, and billet surface temperature. This not only ensures precise surface quality and prevents defects caused by overcooling, but also effectively reduces cooling water usage, significantly lowering industrial water consumption and wastewater treatment costs.
3. High-Grade Copper Mould Tubes:
To ensure the efficient operation of core consumables, we utilize high-strength, thermal-fatigue-resistant copper alloys, processed through rigorous heat treatment to manufacture premium copper mould tubes. Their superior thermal conductivity and extended service life-when combined with an automatic breakout prediction system-minimize steel spillage, reduce scrap generation and energy waste, and fundamentally promote resource efficiency and the circular economy.
【Full-Process Technical Support and Services】
Beyond providing green and efficient equipment, we emphasize the total lifecycle cost for our clients. As a globally qualified supplier for PRIMETALS and Tata Steel, we deeply understand the critical importance of product quality and delivery lead times. Whether it is a complete CCM for a new greenfield project or an upgrade for an existing production line-including accessories such as copper mould tubes, water-cooled cables, withdrawal straightener units, various gearboxes, and drive shafts-we offer one-stop customized design, manufacturing, maintenance, and spare parts support.
【Looking to the Future】
Green transformation leads the way with advanced technology. We will continue to uphold our development philosophy of "Innovation, Green, and Efficiency," working hand-in-hand with global clients to drive continuous casting technology towards higher efficiency, greater environmental sustainability, and smarter manufacturing, thus contributing to the sustainable development of the global metallurgical industry.
