Metallurgical Plants & Continuous Casters
SMS group Metallurgical Plant and Continuous Casters business involves steelmaking, secondary metallurgy, continuous casting and environmental protection such as gas cleaning. We provide the services such as process innovation, equipment design, and turnkey project. We have accumulated rich experience around two hundred years in the metallurgical industry, and obtained worldwide excellence. The Metallurgical Plant and Continuous Casters division is responsible for the SMS group's global business areas in the market of Metallurgical Plant and Continuous Casters, headquarters in Dusseldorf. In order to better serve the Chinese market, SMS group China sets the corresponding division.
Brief introduction to the technologies is as follows:
X-Melt®-Steel making technology, including BOF, AOD, EAF and CONARC®
SMS MEVAC-Secondary metallurgy technology, including Ladle Furnace, VD/VOD, RH etc.
New product positioning with high quality. Today, we constantly develop high quality product to meet the blooming market requirement. So we have to use suitable refining technology. As long as you use our advanced refining technology, whatever new plant or revamping project, it will make you in the leading position to meet future market demand. According to your goals, we will develop the most economical metallurgy process. Whether vacuum treatment to remove oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon, powder injection for desulphurization, alloying or electrical or chemical heating and so on, we always can provide the appropriate equipment with matching electrical automation system. Choosing one or several products from our full range of secondary metallurgy systems (such as stainless steel production) to meet the quality requirements of your different final production.
X-Cast®-Slab Continue Casting Technology

Homogenous to the surface core It makes us proud that our engineers have played a large role in optimizing continuous casting technology. You as a steel producer appreciate our X-Cast® molds with resonance oscillation, Cyberlink® segments with Dynamic Soft Reduction® and X-Pact® electrics and automation packages as more than just technical jargon. They are the keys for consistently high product quality. That’s because these innovative technologies enable you to produce billets with an entirely perfect internal quality-including middle and thick slabs, thin slabs, square billets, round billets and other shape billets, etc.
High speed, low costs
Our casters are designed so that you achieve high productivity based on the right casting speeds and parallel strands. Furthermore, the maintenance-friendly segment design ensures short changeover time, these durable practical technologies play an important role in customers production and enable to maximize production efficiency. Depending on the final products and capacities you require, we supply plants in arc or vertical bending versions (design).
