NIVEAUREGELUNGSSYSTEM FÜR METALSTRANGGIESSANLAGE ODER HALBKONTINUIERLICHE GIESSANLAGE

Level control system for controlling the metal level in continuous or semicontinuous casting equipment, for instance casting equipment for production of roll ingots or billets of aluminium. The casting equipment comprises a casting mould (3) with a upturned open filling hole (4) for melted metal and a supply gutter (7) or the like, with an outlet arranged above the filling hole, for transfer of the melted metal from a holde oven or the like. The metal level is arranged to be controlled by a PLC-unit (9) on the basis of a radar sensor (8) which is registering the level of the metal mirror, as the metal supply is controlled by a actuator driven (12) closing arrangement (13) on the basis of signals from the PLC-unit (9).
