SUMMARY:First ever 3-strand continuous slab caster: High productivity with minimal investment
DESCRIPTION:"What if your slab caster production calculation requires three strands?
The traditional approach would be to install one two-strand caster plus a single strand caster. Or you go the creative way of a three-strand slab caster. This has been first time ever executed for Tangshan Donghua Iron and Steel Enterprise without losing production capacity and decreasing space requirements compared to conventional machine concepts. The visionary setup of this three-strand slab caster will lead to a yearly production of 4 million tons of premium slabs.

While outer strands remain on traditional drive concept the middle strand requires a unique design. Additionally, a special focus lays on the design of the tundish, ensuring stiffness and optimum steel flow over all strands.

The 3-strand slab caster will be equipped with the latest casting technology, together with the anti-bulging optimized roller geometry enabling high-speed casting. 

This paper will present the overall machine and process concept as well as design challenges taken."
