Crystallizer

The crystallizer is the key component of the continuous casting machine
The crystallizer is the key component of the continuous casting machine. The working principle of the continuos casting machine is direct molding of the molten steel. The crystallizer is just the equipment that cools down the molten steel and converts the molten steel into solid state billets. The crystallizer has 1 stainless steel water jacket, which is continuously supplied with cooling water. The shape of the crystallizer decides the shape of the billets. For instance, a crystallizer with a rectangular cross section can only cast thin slabs while another one with a square-shape cross section casts square billets.
The crystallizer works with an oscillation device, and the latter oscillates
the former for removing gases from the molten steel and discharging the solid
state billets from the former
