Installation notes

  1. 1Inspect slide gate frame and cassette for squareness before fitting plates
  2. 2Ensure plate seating surface is clean and flat, any gap causes steel leakage
  3. 3Apply thin layer of refractory mortar or anti-oxidation paste to back of plate
  4. 4Preheat assembled slide gate to 100–150°C before first heat (electric pre-heater preferred)
  5. 5Check plate wear gauge after each heat, replace when bore erosion exceeds limit
  6. 6Store slide plates in dry conditions, moisture causes cracking during first heat
