Function The stopper rod mechanism is an integral part of the automatic stopper rod control system of a continuous casting machine which regulates the steel flow from the tundish to the mold.
It is a mechanical device with a vertically moveable stopper rod to control the flow rate. The vertical movement can be controlled either manually by a gear lever or automatically by an actuator. The stopper rod mechanism includes facilities for precision guiding, adjustment and position locking of the stopper.
