Improvement in the Reliability of Mechanical Flux Feed Systems for Continuous Slab-Casting Machine Molds

  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

We discuss the operating principle and design features for an improved mechanical flux feed system to be used in continuous slab-casting machine molds; this system provides increased reliability and operational efficiency, and is easier to maintain. We describe experimental results for the operating parameters of a combined drive for use in such a mechanical flux feed system, as well as validation of the design, kinematic and power consumption parameters for such drives.
