This page explains how Runout Table is classified within Basic Metal Manufacturing. Technical values and manufacturer relationships are research references; confirm the current specification and supplier evidence for each order.
A conveyor system that transports and cools newly cast steel slabs or billets from the continuous caster.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Runout Table
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Roller Diameter | 300–500 mm | Determines slab support and cooling efficiency |
| Roller Pitch | 600–1200 mm | Affects slab sagging and cooling uniformity |
| Table Length | 20–80 m | Determines cooling time and throughput |
| Slab Width | 800–2200 mm | Must match caster width range |
| Slab Thickness | 150–350 mm | Affects cooling rate and roller load |
| Max Slab Weight | 20–60 t | Determines roller and bearing capacity |
| Transport Speed | 0.5–2.0 m/s | Affects cooling time and production rate |
| Roller Material | 42CrMo4 | Heat-resistant alloy steel for high-temperature serviceDIN EN 10083-3 |
| Operating Temperature | 800–1000 °C | Slab entry temperature; rollers must withstand thermal shock |
| Drive Power | 5.5–22 kW | Per roller drive; depends on load and speed |
| Cooling Water Flow | 50–200 m³/h | Required for roller and bearing cooling |
| Cooling Water Pressure | 0.4–0.8 MPa | Ensures adequate cooling coverage |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
| pressure: | N/A (mechanical conveyor, not pressurized) |
| other spec: | Max slab weight: 50 tons, Speed range: 0.1-2.5 m/s, Cooling water flow: 100-500 m³/h per meter width |
| temperature: | Ambient to 1200°C (2192°F) for hot slabs, cooling to ~600°C (1112°F) before discharge |

The runout table receives hot steel strands from the continuous caster, conveys them at a controlled speed, and facilitates initial cooling via air or water spray systems. It ensures proper spacing and transfers the steel to downstream processes like cutting or reheating.
Typical reference ranges include roller diameter 300–500 mm, roller pitch 600–1200 mm, table length 20–80 m, slab width 800–2200 mm, slab thickness 150–350 mm, max slab weight 20–60 t, transport speed 0.5–2.0 m/s, operating temperature 800–1000 °C, drive power 5.5–22 kW per roller, cooling water flow 50–200 m³/h, and pressure 0.4–0.8 MPa. These are reference values; confirm with the manufacturer.
Materials on file include alloy steel for rollers, refractory lining for hot areas, and heat-resistant bearings. Roller material may be specified as 42CrMo4 per DIN EN 10083-3, but verify actual material grades with the supplier.
Cooling systems such as water headers or air fans are integrated above or below the table. They actively cool the steel to a temperature suitable for downstream handling. Cooling water flow and pressure are key parameters; typical ranges are 50–200 m³/h and 0.4–0.8 MPa, respectively.
