Ladle Slide Gate System Slider

In a ladle slide gate system, the slider is a key component that plays a crucial role in controlling the flow of molten steel. The slider is an integral part of the slide gate mechanism and is responsible for opening or closing the passage through which the molten steel flows.

Here's a closer look at the slider in a ladle slide gate system:

• Purpose : The slider is designed to create a tight seal when closed, preventing molten steel from leaking out of the ladle. When the slider is opened, it allows the controlled flow of molten steel into the tundish or casting mold.
• Design : The design of the slider depends on various factors such as the size of the ladle, flow rates, and desired control precision. It is usually a rectangular or trapezoidal-shaped plate that fits within the housing of the ladle slide gate system.
