Stopper Rod Mechanism
The Stopper Rod Mechanism is an essential control system in the process of continuous casting, which controls the opening and closing of the molten metal in the ladle and the tundish. The mechanism comprises a stopper rod, actuator system, and control unit, all of which work together in controlling the opening and closure of the nozzle. The Stopper Rod Mechanism enhances casting qualities, reduces wastages, and maximizes safety in a steel plant.
