Continuous casting machine, is a machine for producing standard billet of steel in requested length. Advantages of producing billet of steel by using this machine are cooling homogeneity, Uniformity of billet dimensions, great smoothness of the surface of billet, eliminating most of the melting slags and making rolling easy.
These advantages result in the productions which have a higher quality in comparison with the productions which are produced by old, traditional ways.
Watch the clips, showing the performance of the continuous casting machines that are produced by Tapka, which is installed in Binalood industrial zone:
Tapka, with 30 years worth of experience, by producing induction furnaces, has made a great improvement in providing and strengthening the machineries of casting companies in the turnkey model.

Features and advantages of Tapka continuous casting machines
- Controlling all equipment, using HMI and PLC monitoring system
- Displaying all equipment in HMI
- Selecting tundish capacity according to amount of melting of customer`s melt
- Optimizing the consumption of energy by choosing and designing cooling systems (closed loop water, open loop water, scale pit water) according to the conditions of the customer
- Displaying water flow and temperature of all zones in HMI
- Automatic oiling system for mould
- Adjusting and controlling water flow automatically according to casting speed
- Automatically, adjusting and controlling water flow in billet cooling zones according to casting speed
- Cooling rolls in order to increase their lifetime
- Cooling the structure of withdraw and straighter machine to increase lifetime and prevent their deformation
- Using water-circulatory bearings in high temperature zones to increase lifetime of ball bearings
