Our vertical continuous and semi-continuous casting plants have become synonymous with maximum efficiency and operational safety. They are ideal for manufacturing slabs and extrusion billets. Meanwhile, our optimized mold technology has turned into a byword for top quality combined with high productivity. Depending on the casting format, you can achieve outputs of up to 150,000 tpy.
Concepts
Vertical continuous casting plants for billets and slabs
When it comes to producing slabs and extrusion billets in large volumes, vertical continuous casting plants from SMS group are the ideal solution. These plants achieve an annual capacity of up to 150,000 t of copper or brass products. They are especially attractive to companies that require the highest product quality at the greatest possible capacity levels.




Vertical semi-continuous casting plants for billets and slabs
Frequently changing casting schedules require top flexibility. That’s exactly what you get from these plants. They come with up to 6 strands and an annual output of as much as 120,000 t. You can cast lengths of between 3 and 12 meters – with slab widths reaching 1,300 mm and billet diameters of up to 450 mm.




Vertical continuous casting plants for precision sections
It is the perfect combination to meet customer requirements and wishes: in our precision casting plants the benefits of horizontal and vertical casting are combined. This combination enables our customers to manufacture products with small and medium dimensions in uniform quality and excellent dimensional tolerances. This stock is particularly suitable for further processing on automatic lathes.




Technology
Resonance mold
To improve the vertical casting process, we have developed a leaf-spring-guided, hydraulically powered resonance mold. You benefit from perfect, vertical guidance of the mold as well as superb precision, and simultaneous adaptation to the casting process.
