Continuous Casting Launders

Overview

Continuous casting launders are designed for the transfer of molten metal in the final stages of the casting process. Continuous casting launders transfer molten metal from a degassing or filtration system to the casting headbox. Since these launders are located after the filter box and temperature during casting is critical, these launders are designed to minimize inclusion generation and heat loss.

Pyrotek continuous casting launders are designed to be easily cleaned and easily handled for adjustments between each casting campaign. The launder is often covered before casting to prevent contaminants from entering and sometimes remains covered during casting to reduce radiative and convective heat losses.
