Flame Torch Billet Cutting Equipment

Technical features and process parameters

Technical features:

1.The racks and cylinder are both with internal water cooling, increasing the life of the blades and seals.

2.Four edges of the blade can be rotated , increase the usage rate of the blade (about 50 to 80 thousand times per blade)

3.Due to adopting  PLC programmable controller control , the system works stably and reliably.

4.Adopt automatic sizing shearing device; Flat shear (diagonal shearing, tiny head, convenient for rolling mill), small size error.

1.The temperature of billet is controlled above 800 degrees,normal shear section: 80 x 80mm ~ 180 x 180mm

2. The shear cylinder diameter:560mm;Instantaneous shearing time:3s

3. Expansion stroke:310mm;Minimum strand distance of continuous casting machine:1200mm

4. The power of pump set:37KW(A dual-use equipment )

 Costs comparison between traditional flame cutting (including manual cutting) and hydraulic shear :

Function

Cut the hot casting billet into the correct length of billet. The flame cutter is located on the working line of the continuous casting machine behing the tension leveler and  is used to cut the billet to the required size during pouring and to cut the head and tail of the billet during pouring and finishing.

Main components 

Each flow of the continuous casting machine is equipped with 1 flame cutting machine, and each flame cutting machine includes:

1.1 set of steel structure frame, fixed on the foundation, with track for flame cutting car walking.

2.1 set of medium distribution and regulation system of cutting car, composed of valve, filter, pressure regulator, etc.

3.1 set of pipes and hoses.

4.1 set of flame cutting trolley, equipped with clamping device, trolley return pneumatic drive device, cutting gun, pipe and hose, tow chain, etc.
