casters
The Chinese Tongling Nongferrous
Metals Group from Tongling, Anhul

continouous casting plants, make Technica. The casters produce high-quality
cold-rollable copper alloy strips that are subsequently employed for
applications in the electrical industry, for example in printed circuit boards.
‘’Tongling
Nonferrous has put their faith in our vast experience.
SMS Meer has already designed and
built more than 100 of these plant,’’says Uwe Repschlager, Vice President-

The continous casters for copper
strip from SMS Meer are characterized by high flexibility and are ideally
suited- for meeting small to medium production capacities. Tongling Nonferrous
plans to produce various special copper alloys with the new casters.
Each plant consists of an
induction-heated holding furnace with modern, energy-efficient IGBT controller.
This is followed by the primary and secondary cooling lines and the drawing
facilities with electronically controlled servo drive. And finally there are
shears, coilers and transport
facilities.
The casting speed of the new plants can be up to 190 mm per
minute, the casting rate up to 1,000 kg per hour. Strips are produced with
dimensions up to max. 650 x 18 mm.
Commissioning of the two
continuous casters is scheduled for summer 2013.
