Measuring the true steel level and powder thickness
Our advanced radiometric detector delivers real-time, highly accurate measurement of both molten steel and casting powder height in a single, compact unit. Using ten scintillation crystals combined with advanced algorithms, it reliably separates molten steel from the powder layer with unmatched precision.
- Prevent overflows, minimizing strand breakouts and costly downtime
- Ensure exceptional mould level stability for consistently superior steel quality
- Enable process automation through integration with automated powder feeders
Mould powder measurement cycle of 250 ms
How it works – CONGAUGE LB 6755
The CONGAUGE LB 6755 is a high-tech radiometric detector developed in collaboration with SMS Concast. It continuously measures both the liquid steel level and the thickness of the casting powder layer, distinguishing the true steel surface from the powder in real time. With a measurement cycle of just 250 ms, it enables automated powder feeder control, reduces human intervention in hazardous areas, and ensures reliable, high-quality casting performance.
Highlights of CONGAUGE LB 6755 for powder thickness measurement
✦ Simultaneous Measurement: Real-time data for both molten steel and powder layer in a single system.
✦ Advanced SiPM Technology: High precision, fast cycles, and excellent temperature stability.
✦ Robust & Reliable: Performs flawlessly even with electromagnetic stirrers and brakes in harsh casting environments.
✦ Easy Integration: Fits existing installations and interfaces smoothly with control systems, minimizing downtime.
