Maintenance of ingot moulds by grinding

At Calider Industrie, we understand the importance of precise and regular maintenance of ingot moulds to guarantee their performance and durability. Grinding is a key solution for eliminating imperfections, extending the life of your equipment and reducing the costs associated with their replacement.

Our teams of experts use state-of-the-art equipment to provide tailor-made maintenance, adapted to the requirements of your steelmaking processes. Discover how our grinding maintenance solutions can make a difference.

We adapt our ingot mould grinders according to the shape of the mould (round, octagonal, square, flat or multi-scalloped).

This smooths out the skin defects of the moulds and gives them a new life.

Our new workshop is equipped with grinders for ingot moulds weighing up to 32 tonnes (maximum capacity of the bridges).

Process steps

1. Inspection of the ingot moulds to detect worn or damaged areas.
2. Precision grinding to remove irregularities and restore the surfaces.
3. Final inspection to ensure conformity and durability.

Advantages of maintenance by grinding

• Reduced risk of failure.
• Improved durability of the ingot moulds.
• Cost-effective process compared to complete replacement.
