For the mold, SMS is supplying new thermocouples and the technological process models. The level 2 models of the X-Pact electrical and automation system contain Temperature Monitoring (Mold Monitoring System) and the Breakout Prediction System.
The new hydraulic oscillator drive allows setting of the variable oscillation frequency, stroke length and curve shape. The breakout prediction system enables any possible stickers to be recognized already at an early stage and preventive measures to be taken. Monitoring of the process sequence in the mold is provided by temperature measurement via thermocouples on the mold copper plates.
SMS group’s range of services also includes the project management, on-site training of the operating personnel and the commissioning supervision.
Start-up is scheduled for the end of 2016. China Steel has placed this modernization order as a follow-up to the successful implementation of the Mold Monitoring System from SMS in continuous caster No. 7 in the same works.
China Steel operates Taiwan’s largest integrated steel plant and produces around 10 mio. t of steel per year there.
