Nozzle header and segment pipe design
Strand surface defects can often be traced back to misaligned spray nozzles. Conventional, complex header pipes with many hoses are one source of such misalignments. With the introduction of the Lechler Mastercooler SMART air mist nozzles the vertical segment piping with square air and water header pipes has become a design standard for slab caster segments. This nozzle mounting system reduces the complexity of the segment piping, makes it very rigid and maintenance friendly, eliminates all hoses and small fittings and it secures correct nozzle positioning.
Lechler has the ability to carry out the basic and detailed design for an optimized segment piping and nozzle headers. Fabrication, installation and commissioning can also be offered.
