Casting Machine
The casting machine called five-wheel type continuous casting equipment, also belongs to the cable making machinery. Its continuously operated, enclosed casting cavity is formed by the copper crystallization wheel, whose dovetail groove part is incompletely surrounded by the steel belt. The steel belt is driven by four guide wheels, and rotates together with the crystallization. One of the guide wheels has a pneumatic and weight balancing mechanism which is beneficial for the steel belt tensioning.
Also, the casting machine has a pinch roller of small diameter that can float to tightly compress the steel belt. The crystallization wheel together with the ingot will be sprayed by the cooling water. Since the nozzle is of metallurgical engineering design, it sprays water fog.
