Smart Cooling. Smarter Steelmaking. Introducing the Cu+ Plate by cunova * Patent pending

| Products & Innovations

Steel producers face growing pressure to enhance product quality while cutting operational costs. Traditional mould plates often become a bottleneck – limited rework thickness leads to frequent replacements, higher maintenance, and downtime. 
At cunova, we’ve developed a smarter solution: the Cu+ plate. Backed by our patent-pending technology, the Cu+ plate extends mould plate lifetime by up to 50% under constant cooling conditions – dramatically lowering cost per tonne of steel. 
 
Why Cu+? 
 
The Cu+ plate introduces a new generation of copper plate design with dynamic cooling that adapts to each phase of operation. The cooling is tailored through a specially engineered combination of plate and filling piece, ensuring optimal performance across the entire lifecycle. 
 
Key Benefits: 

  • Extended Lifetime: Up to 50% more rework thickness – reclaim more copper and reduce changeovers. 
  • Full-Surface Cooling: Replaces traditional slotted designs with uniform, demand-based cooling across the entire surface. 
  • Phase-Optimised Performance: Stronger cooling during the early phase; refined cooling in the thinner rework phase. 
  • Simplified Maintenance: Easy cooling adjustment during rework ensures consistently high performance. 

 
The result? Reduced operating costs, fewer maintenance intervals, and consistent casting quality – all without compromising performance.
