Tundish Dump Station

Project Description:
The Tundish Tilting station (50 T Capacity) was designed to empty tundishes of the cooling metal, slag, and deposits that remain after the continuous casting process. In order for tundishes to be re-lined and cycled back into production it is critical that all these remaining materials be removed. The process of dumping, shaking, or punching tundishes to rid them of “skull” material build-up occurs at the tundish tilting station.

Project Phases:
  • Detailed Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Design
  • Assembly and Construction
  • Equipment specification and procurement
