Temperature Maintenance System for Non-Ferrous Casting

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Temperature Maintenance System

Definition

The Temperature Maintenance System is a critical component of Non-Ferrous Metal Continuous Casting and Rolling Systems, responsible for ensuring the molten metal maintains optimal temperature parameters from the tundish through the mold and into the initial rolling stands. It prevents premature solidification, controls cooling rates, and ensures uniform temperature distribution to achieve proper metallurgical properties, surface quality, and dimensional accuracy in the final rolled product. The system is designed for integration into continuous casting lines for aluminum and copper alloys, with a rated capacity of 500–2000 kg/h and a temperature control range of 650–950 °C. It maintains temperature accuracy of ±5 °C, which is critical for uniform casting. Heating power ranges from 50–200 kW, depending on melt flow rate. The system operates on a three-phase power supply of 380–480 V AC (50/60 Hz) per IEC 60038. Operating pressure is 1.0–1.6 MPa, with a maximum operating temperature of 1200 °C limited by the refractory lining. Ingress protection is IP54–IP65 per IEC 60529. Wetted parts are made of 316L stainless steel per ASTM A240. The skid-mounted unit weighs 1500–3500 kg and has typical dimensions of 2500×1500×1800 mm. Materials used include refractory ceramics, high-temperature alloy steel, insulation materials, and copper for induction coils. The system employs induction heating elements, resistance heaters, or gas burners positioned along the casting line and initial rolling section. Temperature sensors such as thermocouples and infrared pyrometers monitor metal temperature at multiple points. A control unit processes data and adjusts heating output in real-time to compensate for heat loss. For procurement, verify model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier.

Working Principle

The system uses strategically positioned heating elements—induction, resistance, or gas burners—along the casting line and initial rolling section. Temperature sensors (thermocouples, infrared pyrometers) continuously monitor metal temperature at multiple points. A control unit processes this data and adjusts heating output in real-time to maintain the metal within a narrow target range, compensating for heat loss to the environment and the casting/rolling process itself. This ensures uniform temperature distribution and prevents premature solidification.
