1. Introduction
This document compares internal and external type M-EMS, from a structural and construction
standpoint, just as from mould engineering, operating practice and performance.
2. Description
From a structural & construction standpoint, M-EMS can be designed in two typical
configurations: Internal (also referred to as "open frame") and External ("closed frame").

As it may be immediately noticed, Internal MEMS do not have an external stainless steel
protection case, while External MEMS do have it.
Consequently, the weight, the amount of material required (stainless steel), the manufacturing
work and the price are higher for the External type (at same power rating).
Let now see their differences from the mould engineering and operating practice standpoints.

2.1 INTERNAL TYPE MEMS (WITHOUT STAINLESS STEEL CASE)
They are installed inside the mould or mould support assembly, in a water sub-chamber. This
sub-chamber is necessary to separate the primary mould water circuit from the MEMS water
circuit. Water flows, in a controlled way, inside this sub-chamber thus cooling the stirrer's
internal coils. So, the sub-chamber has a water inlet and a water outlet.

Figure 2: Internal MEMS
When cartridge-type moulds are planned, this means that the cartridge support (Mould Support
Assembly) must create a sealed sub-chamber. This imposes a relatively more complex mould
engineering and the use of O-rings to separate MEMS water-inlet from water-outlet zones and
between sub-chamber and top cover (see fig. 3).

From the manipulation and installation point-of-view, Internal MEMS require a little more careful
handling due to the exposed magnetic core and cables (see fig. 1)

2.2 EXTERNAL TYPE MEMS (WITH STAINLESS STEEL CASE)
They are installed outside the mould,

and do not require a water sub- cartridge-type
chamber, having their own mould

independent case.
The water cooling circuit is completely

self-contained in the MEMS and

independent; there are only one Assembly
water-inlet pipe and one water-outlet sub-chamber
pipe, both with quick-coupling

connectors.
There is no imposition for the mould engineering because they live separately. The MEMS is
simply placed inside the std. Mould Support Assembly, around the cartridge mould (see fig. 4),
and no sub-chamber and O-rings
must be foreseen. In this way the
mould engineering is simplified.

From the manipulation and
installation point-of-view, External
MEMS are intrinsically self-
protected by the stainless steel
case so they don't need careful Mould
handling.
The magnetic core and the cooling

circuit are not exposed.

It must be noted that internal MEMS must be as many as the moulds because each mould must

have its own stirrer assembled inside.
In the following table it is possible to compare the energy consumption levels between internal
MEMS and external MEMS. The values indicated in the table refer to MEMS installed on standard
moulds of the main manufactures.

Note:
I: internal MEMS
E: external MEMS
Increasing the radius of the stirrer, it is necessary to increase the active power according to a
no-linear rule to guarantee the same electric magnetic field and the same metallurgical effects
on billet. The external MEMS has a wider radius than internal MEMS and therefore it is
necessary to increase its active power.
