Improvement of the Devices for Filling the Crystallizers of Continuous Casting Machines with Liquid Metal

We analyze disadvantages of the available designs of devices aimed at filling the crystallizers with liquid metal and their elements. In order to increase the intensity of mixing of the metal and, hence, to get homogeneous structures of the crystallized metal and guarantee the conditions of safe operation of the personnel, we propose to use an absolutely new design of the device used for the delivery and mixing steel in the crystallizer. The proposed design of a device in the form of a submersible nozzle with reflector placed on a bracket is much simpler and less costly in manufacturing and operation than the well-known complex analog in the form of a deep-flow submersible nozzle with outlet holes.
