The Slide Gate Plate System is used to cast molten steel into tundish or ingots in a controlled manner. The Slide Gate Plates are placed outside the ladle and consist of two refractory plates – one fixed and another moving. The fixed plate is also called top plate and sliding plate is also called bottom plate. The ladle slide gate system is acritical piece of flow control equipment in liquid steel casting. The service life of the slide gate plate is a limiting factor to achieve performance and is greatly dependent on the type of slide gate mechanism used. A new generation slide gate system is the key to achieving longer plate service life and hence higher productivity and more economical operation.
Ladle Slide Gate Plate Advantages：
The sliding gate plate device is to compress the spring plate through the surface so that the spring is compressed to generate a reaction force, so that there is enough pressure to maintain stability. The spring has good safety and its performance has reached the same international technical level.
- High density plate inserts providing excellent erosion resistance
- Dimensionally accurate, with a smooth surface finish
- A comprehensive range of designs available
- Ability to make custom made plate insert designs
Ladle Slide Gate Plate Application：
Slide Gate Refractory are used in ladle for controlling the liquid steel flow from Ladle to Tundish. Slide gate plates are available in a number of different chemistries and bond systems to best match the grades of steel and chemistries of the slag. Specific physical, chemical and mineralogical compositions of high purity ensure high corrosion and erosion resistance, optimum thermal shock resistance to yield optimum performance. Slide Gate Plate is the most important part of the slide gate system. It directly controls the flow of molten steel coming out of the bottom pouring ladle. Long-term contact with molten steel and direct confrontation with the thermal front and the high potential of steel in causing corrosion, can cause the depreciation of this part.
Slide Gate Plate Refractories are installed on the ladle’s bottom for regulating the flow of liquid steel from Ladle to Tundish. These are special refractories and should be treated with caution.
In a range of different chemistries and bond systems, slide gate plates are available to better fit the steel grades and the slag chemistry. Unique high purity physical, chemical, and mineralogical compositions ensure high resistance to corrosion and erosion, optimum resistance to thermal shock, and optimum efficiency. According to the need for refractory requirements of core sector industries, we have a complete range of Slide Gate Plate Refractories items of all grades and shapes.
