A continuous metal strip casting plant on which is mounted, at the casting location, a mobile ingot mould comprising two cylindrical metallic casting rolls in addition to other components, amongst which there are a tundish and/or under tundish and/or an unloader and/or lateral plates, respective preheating stations located in positions separated from the position of casting, and rotating arms located on a turret itself also placed on the casting plane to transfer the components from the casting line to their preheating stations.

Continuous metal strip casting plant

A continuous metallic strip casting plant comprising an ingot mould, a device for the evacuation of casting wastes formed by a trolley which can host two chests. The trolley is located below the ingot mould and on the trolley is deposited the full chest in the free space next to the spare empty chest. The trolley is then moved and the spare empty chest is fixed under the ingot mould. A metal waste evacuation method is also described.

Method and device for the evacuation of casting wastes

Support device for an assembly () of the casting rolls (') of a continuous metallic strip casting line comprising a movable support at each axial end. Such supports (&#x2032;) are provided with a hydraulic bearing () to reduce friction during motion with respect to the assembly. Between the movable supports of one of the rolls () and the assembly is located a hydraulic actuator (), which thrusts the first roll (&#x2032;) towards the second roll (&#x2032;) against a stop (). Between the second roll (&#x2032;) and the assembly there are located magnetostrictive actuators which thrust the second roll (&#x2032;) against the first roll (). The device has a joint provided with a housing () inside which a telescopic tube () for the supply of the cooling water to conduits present in the rolls may slide. The housing () is connected to the assembly () by means of a bellows () allowing for oscillation.
