To support our customers and partners, Siemens VAI has launched several new generations of Continuous Casting plants, like heavy section or high performance caster, on to the market. Beside new plants, upgrade solutions for existing assets are consequential by integrated technological packages, assistance systems and entire life cycle service solutions. Today, continuous casters consist of modularized technological/mechatronic packages to allow fast design and short project execution time as well as rapid production ramp up after the first heat is cast to shorten return on investment periods to a minimum. From the metallurgical point of view state-of-the-art continuous casters have features to enable strand treatment through special cooling and soft reduction technologies linked with sophisticated process models. As a result online and offline process simulation and close loop control to further optimize product quality and productivity goal is ensured. A huge demand in tailor-made casters is seen to suit demands of all different end customer product requirements. They are designed to produce efficiently at economy-of-scale output either for long products at a micro scale or for flat products to support new steel grade and section size development. Maintenance and operation are supported by modern service approaches and consultancy contracts to further reduce operating costs through increased plant availability and enhanced process knowledge. To improve operational reliability without human intervention robotic units perform tasks in hazardous areas.
