| Adjustable Mould Width |
In order to minimize both the time required to change a mould as well as the mould inventory during slab casting, adjustable mould were first developed which could be adjusted without the mould being removed from the casting machine. More recently, as an alternative to slab slitting, the slab width can be changed during the actual operation. In one design, the mould taper can be adjusted by using different gear ratios for moving the top and bottom of the narrow mould faces. |
