Purpose:
charging of dummy bar into mould;
discharging of dummy bar out of the mould;
ingot journey along the technological axis of CCM;
ingot rebend;
possibility to carry out “mild cobbing”.

Structural features:
Segments structure provides the following:
Precise following of technological axis within the segment;
Stability of technological process;
Compliance with ingot cooling mode;
Bottom and top frames are made in form of firm welded structures out of sheet steel;
Frames are connected with each other by means of pillars with hydraulic cylinders;
Bottom and top frames serve as supports for driven and idle segments rollers;
Each top frames with rollers are driven by four hydraulic cylinders;
Hydraulic cylinders control blocks are located just on the segments and effectively protected against heat emission;
Rollers bearing assemblies are installed onto support platforms of the top and bottom frames;
The ingot is cooled by water-and-air mixture by means of special collectors with sprayers;
Mounting points structure provides quick segments change;
Precise rollers resistance per 1 mm diameter wear is provided by appliance of corresponding materials, manufacturing methods and efficient cooling.
