product & process innovation
what we offer
Evolution of continuous casting technology using 40 years experience to modify, apply and use new materials, new controls & new drive technology to increase the applications and uses for Rautomead equipment.
Rautomead in-house development capability allows both Rautomead and customers to investigate ways to use the continuous casting process to generate reductions in cost of production:
- by casting at a smaller size (nearer net-shape)
- by increasing speed of casting
- by introducing equipment and tooling designs to facilitate casting of alloys previously unsuited to continuous casting
Rautomead R&D department provides a commitment and focus on the evolution and improvement of continuous casting technology and its application to an expanding range of alloys and materials including complex and aggressive metals.
