The quickest mould level sytem
of measuring steel meniscus
Precise and quick measurement of mould level lays the foundation for the production of high quality steel and the reliable prevention of the overflow and breakout of steel. The castXpert LB 452 has been setting industry benchmarks for years, delivering highly accurate and stable mould level control.
- The world’s fastest response – with the extremely short cycle time of 5 ms
- Fully compatible with electromagnetic stirrers and brakes
- Reliable and extremely robust mould level measurement
- Highest safety, designed according to IEC 61508 (SIL Standard))
- Highest accuracy
Measuring the true steel level in closed casting
Determining the powder thickness
Our advanced detector delivers real-time, highly accurate measurement of both molten steel level and powder height in one compact unit. Using ten scintillation crystals combined with advanced algorithms, it uniquely separates molten steel from the casting powder layer with unmatched accuracy.
- Prevent overflows, minimizing strand breakouts and costly downtime
- Exceptional mould level stability, ensuring consistently superior steel quality
- Process automation by integration of automated powder feeder
Mould powder measurement cycle of 250 ms
