Hot-Tops

METATOP

For standard applications METATOP hot topping systems are supplied as single piece, 4 pieces and 8 pieces assemmles comprising 4 side slabs and 4 corner pieces for medium and large size ingots varying from about 1 ton to over 25 tons. Different designs like " Inserted type", "Super imposed type", "Over-imposed type", etc, are available to suit various plant conditions.

METATOP

• hot topping systems increase the yield (Ingot to Bloom / Billet)
• a low density products and hence can be handled easily even for large ingots.
• hot toping systems are dimensionally accurate and very strong hence chances of breakages during transportation and storage are negligible.
• Hot topping systems are tailor made to fit each ingot mould size.

COVEREX

• Exothermic and Insulating anti-piping compounds are used with METATOP hot tops for killed steel ingots. These reduce loss of heat the top surface of the ingots and thereby delay the solidification of the head portion which helps feeding the shrinkage cavities.
• Beside imparting sufficient heat into the hot top portion in initial stages COVEREX after burning expands significantly thus desirable insulation during the subsequent stages of solidification.

METASEAL

Air setting compound supplied in ready to use form applied to seal the joints between the mould and hot tops. The fast setting characteristic of the product helps in giving tight fit to the entire system and prevents it from floatation, boiling etc.
