Vertical Continuous Casting Plant ( VCCP )
Change the way you cast - A break through in technology for strip casting
of copper & copper base alloys.
For the first time in India, Kalpatech Engineers, backed up by over two
decades of experience in the field of copper and copper alloys smelting
/ refining / melting and various types of casting such as conventional,
down casting, semi continuous casting, and horizontal continuous casting
plants, have successfully developed Copper Strip Casting up to 620 mm width
with Vertical Continuous Casting Plant ( VCCP ).
Despite the proven superiority by far of VCCP over HCCP, VCCP has thus far been
successful only for rod castings. For strip castings, however, particularly for
strips with larger widths, such as 400 to 620 mm. VCCP has always had a very major
problem caused by the Surface Tension of the molten charge while being drawn upward
through the die. This, more often than not, results in non-uniform width strips with
voids and porosity. The problem is further aggravated due to the density difference
between the molten charge and the solidified metal and the rather slow rate of
cooling that conventionally designed heat exchangers accord to the molten metal
for solidifying in the die. M/s. Kalpatech Engineers have successfully dealt with
the above & developed VCCP for casting of OFHC copper & copper base alloys. This
casting is also very successful in casting of Zinc & Zinc based alloys &
Aluminum
& Aluminum based alloys
