Problem statement
- Premature closing of the slide gate leads to excessive residue of metal in the ladle and losses
- In case of later closing of the slide gate, slag gets into the continuously cast billet which leads to the reduction of metal quality
Solution
- Give recommendations to the operator about the necessity to close the slide gate earlier taking into account operator reaction time and the time when the slide gate activates
- Automatic closing mode for the slide gate is foreseen
