A carrying tower for a metallurgical vessel includes at least one carrying arm cantilevering from a non-rotatable carrying column and pivotable about the carrying column, which carrying arm carries at least one metallurgical vessel. A pivot bearing is provided between the carrying arm and the carrying column. In order to enable a simple check, maintenance and a quick removal of the pivot bearing with the carrying arm remaining on the carrying tower, a single pivot bearing accommodating axial and radial forces as well as tilting moments, with a lower-side shoulder of a first bearing race, rests on a supporting surface arranged on the upper end of the carrying column. The carrying arm is mounted so as to be suspended on a second bearing race of the pivot bearing.

Carrying tower arrangement for a metallurgical vessel

A carrying tower for metallurgical vessels includes at least one carrying arm that projects from a supporting column and possesses two supporting arms laterally encompassing the metallurgical vessel. Each of the supporting arms is provided with at least two differing supports that are exchangeable for one another and into which the carrying means of differing metallurgical vessels are fittable.

Adjustable carrying-tower arrangement for metallurgical vessels

An arrangement at a continuous casting plant includes a liftable and lowerable tundish mounted on a movable carrier and a tilting device mounted on a tilting stand for emptying of the tundish. The tilting device includes a tilting beam rotatable about its longitudinal axis and the tundish possesses recesses at its lower side, corresponding to the cross section of the tilting beam. Thus the tundish is lowerable at the tilting stand so its recesses make a positive connection with the tilting beam.
