Abstract

Fata Hunter has recently developed and patented for the continuous twin roll casting lines an automated system, which allows the end user to change the cast sheet width while casting in continuous operation. This system uses the new boron nitride coated feed tip nozzle to ensure that the internal end dams glide with precise incremental movements. Typical cast house operations, which would benefit the most from this system, are continuous twin roll casting lines that frequently change the cast width for multiple end products. A program has been instituted to determine the effectiveness of this new design utilizing a range of the FATA Hunter twin roll casting lines from the old vintage casters to the new revolutionary SpeedCaster® lines.
