Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cast steel production technology, specifically to a heat-insulated conveyor roller. Background Technology

[0002] Continuous casting is a steel production process used to continuously pour molten steel into billets of specific shapes and sizes. The process begins with liquid steel in a ladle, passes through an tundish, and then through a water-cooled crystallizer, where the molten steel is rapidly cooled and solidified to form a primary billet shell. This shell is then drawn out by a leveling machine and continuously cut into billets of predetermined lengths. Compared to traditional ingot casting, continuous casting technology offers advantages such as high production efficiency, low energy consumption, and high product quality, making it a core component of modern steel production.

[0003] Traditional conveyor rollers have the following drawbacks: When using traditional conveyor rollers, the high-temperature steel billets generated during the continuous casting process cool down quickly. As a result, the high-temperature steel billets lose heat rapidly and their temperature drops before entering the rolling mill. Therefore, the steel billets need to be reheated after entering the rolling mill, which increases energy consumption, prolongs the production cycle, and reduces production efficiency.
