CastCORE™ RA

Radioactive Steel Level Control

A conventional radioactive mould level monitoring and control system developed for continuous casting applications, delivering reliable performance and cost-effective implementation.

CastCORE RA system

Overview

Proven mould level measurement technology.

Radioactive mould level measurement is one of the most widely used methods for automatic steel level control in continuous casting machines.

CastCORE® RA follows this proven measurement principle and combines it with modern control electronics, industrial software and plant-ready automation integration.

The system is designed for steel producers that require a familiar, robust and cost-effective solution for mould level monitoring and automatic control.

Why CastCORE™ RA

Reliable, familiar and cost-effective.

CastCORE™ RA is developed for plants that prefer conventional radioactive level measurement while expecting modern control performance, clear diagnostics and competitive project cost.

Proven Principle

Based on a widely used measurement method for continuous casting.

Cost-Effective

Competitive implementation for new installations and upgrades.

Easy Integration

Designed for integration with PLC, HMI and plant automation systems.

Modern Diagnostics

Operator-friendly monitoring, alarms and system status information.

How It Works

Conventional radioactive measurement with modern control.

CastCORE™ RA uses a radioactive source and detector arrangement to measure steel level inside the mould. The measured signal is processed by industrial electronics and used by the control system to regulate mould level automatically.
