Aluminum & Copper Ingot Casting Line

How it works

It is specially designed for continuous casting of pure aluminum, copper and various copper-aluminum alloy materials. It can continuously produce standard metal ingots, bars and blanks in stable specifications.It perfectly supports subsequent processing like rolling, extrusion and forging, and meets mass, standardized production demands for non-ferrous metal raw materials.

Continuous casting turns molten metal into a solid semi-finished shape in one uninterrupted step. Metal is poured into a cooled mould, a skin forms, and the strand is withdrawn at a rate matched to the casting temperature, so the solidification front stays in the same place in the mould. The result is a billet, ingot or rod with consistent structure instead of a series of individual ingots.

Rolling follows casting when the product needs a smaller section. The cast strand is reduced through successive stands while it is still hot enough to deform, which is why the caster and the mill are specified together: the casting rate has to feed the mill, and the reduction schedule has to match the section the caster can produce.

Key features

• Stable Continuous Casting Performance：Adopts mature horizontal casting technology with stable feeding and cooling process, ensuring dense internal structure and smooth surface of aluminum and copper ingots
• High Production & Cost Saving：Realizes 24-hour uninterrupted continuous production, effectively improving output capacity. It reduces repeated heating loss and lowers overall production and labor costs
• Efficient Circulating Cooling System：Equipped with matched water cooling device for rapid and uniform cooling, which speeds up solidification forming and guarantees consistent product size and quality
• Strong Material Compatibility：Flexibly adapts to pure aluminum, pure copper and multiple alloy formulas, and can produce ingots in different sizes to satisfy diversified market processing needs
• Simple Operation & Low Maintenance：Equipped with intelligent centralized control system for easy parameter adjustment. The whole line has reasonable structure, easy daily cleaning and maintenance, and long service life

How to choose casting and rolling

• Define the finished product first — ingot weight, billet section or rod diameter — and derive the casting rate from it.
• Match casting speed to melting capacity. A caster that outruns the furnace idles; one that is slower than the furnace builds a queue of molten metal.
• Confirm the cooling water demand; secondary cooling is the constraint on casting speed in most installations.
• Decide how much of the line you are buying: casting only, casting plus rolling, or casting with the auxiliary heating, drying and cooling equipment specified alongside it.
