More than just shaping up. Rectangular, square, round shapes or beam blanks – our continuous casters make the grade not only with a complete production range, but also with the option of combining various formats in one plant. We offer you the full spectrum – from ladle turret to discharge systems.
Focus on cost-effectiveness. Depending on your final products, we equip our machines for you with the right quality-enhancing and securing technologies. Choose for instance OBT (Optimized Block Temperature), which gives you a series of advantages: higher quality by avoiding surface and edge cracking, greater productivity through maximized casting speeds and reject reduction as well as lower production costs through low spray-water consumption.
Unique quality. If you want to produce top-grade steels, you’ll appreciate our molds with resonance oscillation, electromagnetic stirrers, plant-specific cooling strategies and Dynamic Soft Reduction®. What makes the grades produced this way stand out is their pure and homogenous microstructure over the entire cross-section. But that’s not the only process where we lead the field – there’s also our Near-Net Shape method. It produces long products already close to the finished shape. That increases efficiency during the rolling process and saves energy costs.
