Product Information
WERTLI’s horizontal continuous casting lines for cast iron and nodular cast iron are amongst those casters designed first to go on stream worldwide. This economic casting method to produce round bars, squares, rectangles and shapes provides an extremely fine grained product which is pressure tight and easily machinable. These casters are usually producing:
- Cast iron grades GGL20 to GGL35
- Nodular cast iron grades GGG40 to GGG80
The equipment design of this category of casters is governed by the required number of strands and suitable furnace volumes. The furnace design was developed from the former flame-heated furnaces to coreless induction heated vessels – a unique WERTLI special design feature. Most of these casters are equipped with strand extraction machines with PC CAST 3000 TS control system with data printing, remote servicing link, followed by travelling abrasive bar notchers and cutters and bar breakers.
