The right continuous casting mold tube will greatly contribute to the billets’ quality in terms of surface, internal structure, and shape. We have the knowledge, experience, and expertise to create the right continuous casting mold tube every time. Your continuous casting mold tube maintenance and care will increase its lifespan and enhance overall quality and productivity. Each copper mold tube is a financially viable option that will last for many heats with our range of aftercare and refurbishment services. 

SMS Concast has been designing molds since it introduced continuous casting to the steel industry in 1954. In 1991, our CONVEX Technology® mold tubes boosted caster throughput by up to 30 % over conventional molds. For many years now, SMS Concast has not only designed but also manufactured mold tubes tailored to your specific needs. We don’t outsource these critical parts, we produce them in-house.

The mold assembly being the heart of every continuous casting machine, SMS Concast offers advanced integrated mold solutions based on the caster requirements and optimized for:

• Higher casting speeds
• Optimized metallurgical processes
• Extension of mold service life
• Improved quality (geometry, surface, internal)
• Reduced break-out rate
• Increased yield

SMS Concast is not only at the forefront of mold technology developments, it also manufactures mold tubes itself.
