Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017055377A1] A flux feeding apparatus 10 for delivering flux to a mold 13 during a continuous casting process is described. The apparatus comprises: a plurality of silos 20a-20c each containing a different flux or flux component; a receiver 52 for receiving process parameters of the casting process; and a controller 44 which is configured to: analyse the process parameters received by the receiver 52; determine whether a current flux composition is appropriate for the received process parameters; and if the current flux composition is not appropriate for the received process parameters, change the delivery of flux or flux components from the plurality of silos to provide a required flux composition to the mold 13 for the received parameters. A corresponding method is also described.
