The CCM design is a prototype model of a series of units for continuously cast billets, which guarantees surfaces with stable and high quality characteristics and macrostructures of billets, guaranteeing bounded crack lengths or absence of cracks of a particular type. The prototype CCM model is designed primarily for efficient replacement of radial bloom CCM with a base radius of 12 m being produced by the company ORMETO-YUMZ Heavy Engineering.
