A continuous casting mold for the continuous casting of a metal strand, particularly a steel strand, comprising mutually opposing wide side walls and mutually opposing narrow side walls which are disposed in a clamped manner between the wide side walls and can be displaced along the wide side walls transversely to the casting direction and taper in a wedge-shaped manner in the casting direction, wherein the wide side walls comprise a funnel-shaped pouring region extending in the casting direction to the mold end, and wherein the narrow side walls are disposed in an exchangeable manner according to the thickness to be set for the metal strand to be cast, and wherein the positions of the narrow sides can be set by means of a narrow side adjustment system () having an upper and an lower adjustment device () in relation to the center line () of the metal strand to be cast, characterized in that the narrow side adjustment system () comprises at least one control element (), which acts on the adjustment devices () at least substantially transversely to the center line, and an alignment device for aligning the positions of the upper and lower control devices in relation to a specified reference position which are set by the at least one control element ().

Continuous casting mold

The invention relates to a mold divider for fitting in a conventional slab mold () having laterally adjustable narrow-side parts for selective casting of several strands with changeable strand widths. The mold divider consists of a housing () fixedly securable relative to the mold (), between the broad-side plates () and having bilaterally adjustable, in a broad-side direction of the mold (), adjusting organs (), with supporting plates () provided at their ends and with the narrow-side heat-exchanger plates () arranged thereon.
