| Manufacturer | Properzi |
| Process Description | |
| - A Properzi type wheel & band caster is used to continuously | |
| cast a bar with 4500mm2 cross-section. The bar is cut into 720mm long | |
| ingots (28.4") weighing 9.5kg each (20.9lbs). An automatic stacker | |
| then makes 1000kg bundles of 720mm L x 720mm W x 850mm H. | |
| Superior Product | |
| - Casting this way results in more uniform ingots with min. surface | |
| oxidation and minimum dross inclusions when compared to conventionally | |
| cast secondary or primary ingots. | |
| Production Capacity | 8.0 mtons/hr (17,632 lbs/hr) |
| Equipment | |
| - Wheel & Band Caster | |
| - A 3200mm (126") diam.caster wheel is fitted with a copper ring | |
| mould to produce the 4500mm2 bar continuously. An endless steel belt | |
| with the proper mould release coating encircles the wheel groove. The | |
| copper wheel ring and the steel belt are each cooled with water spray | |
| nozzles mounted on four manifolds. The wheel is driven by a DC motor. | |
| - Idler Conveyor | |
| - Carries the cast bar through a sensor arm and to the shear. | |
| - Sensor Arm | |
| - Transmits an electronic signal to the straightener and the | |
| shear in order to synchronize the speed between caster and the | |
| downstream equipment. | |
| - Straightener | |
| - Straightens bar before going to shear. A set of 4 DC driven | |
| rolls on the bottom match up to 3 rolls on the top that are | |
| pneumatically loaded to effect the straightening. All 7 rolls | |
| are cooled with a water soluble coolant system. | |
| - Automatic Shear | |
| - Two horizontal rotary drums equipped with knives cut the | |
| straightened bars into lengths of +/- 720mm weighing 9.5kg each. | |
| The rolls and knives are cooled by water soluble emulsion. | |
| - Motorized Swing Roller Table | |
| - Extracts the cut ingots from the shear and conveys them to the | |
| automatic stacker. | |
| - Double Ingot Stacker (Optional) | |
| - Stacks the cut ingots into 720mm L x 720mm W x 850mm H bundles | |
| weighing +/- 1000kg. | |
| - Emulsion Coolant System | |
| - One centrifugal pump delivers 5 cubic meters /hour of coolant | |
| and is mounted on a steel frame with a plate type heat exchanger, | |
| a temp. regulating valve, filter, gate valves, piping, etc. | |
| - Electrics and Controls | |
| - All DC motors are driven by SCR units located in the control | |
| cubicle. A PLC controls the line functions. | |
| Sold reconditioned including a one-year guarantee. |
