Mold level control
and stabilization at utmost precision
The SIMETALCIS LevCon
combines state-of-the-art mold level
control with additional features
that reduce clogging effects, SEN
wear and mold level fluctuations
initiated from bulging effects. Over
100 successful installations
worldwide contributed to an ever
increasing functionality and quality
of this technological control
system.
SIMETALCIS LevCon
- mold level controller
The
challenge
Mold level fluctuations
and surface waves cause
major casting disturbances
and may result in quality
issues. Production and
surface quality are
adversely influenced by
bulging effects especially
for critical steelgrades (e.g.
peritectics). Manual startup
procedures require manpower
in a dangerous environment.
Our solution
Advanced model-based
control algorithms that even
peek into the near future to
avoid oscillations in the
control loop. Active bulging
suppression by means of a
patented algorithm that is
based on withdrawal forces.
Automatic start / stop as
well as automatic control
during all casting
conditions assure that
production personnel can be
assigned to quality related
control tasks.
Good reasons for SIMETALCIS
LevCon
Automatic adaptation to
changes in width, casting speed
and steel grade
Backlash compensation for
installation in existing
environments
Built-in clogging prevention
by induced jitter and knocking
Dead time compensation using
a Smith Predictor for
‘just-in-time’ reactions
