A continuous casting plant for the optional casting of an ingot of slab cross section or of ingots of smaller cross section has a first structural unit which is developed as plate mold for the casting of an ingot of slab cross section. This structural unit is supported on a mold support structure (1) and can be replaced by a second structural unit (16) having molds (21, 22, 23) for the casting of ingots of smaller cross section. For the dependable supporting of the molds (21, 22, 23) for the casting of a smaller cross section, the second structural unit (16) is formed of two longitudinal girders (17, 17') which are arranged spaced from and approximately parallel to each other and are rigidly connected to each other, the molds (21, 22, 23) being supported on the longitudinal girders (17, 17').

Continuous casting plant

A continuous casting mold comprising an oscillating supporting structure including side walls defining a mold cavity, together with the supporting structure, is supported on a lifting table oscillated by an oscillation drive and guided in the oscillation direction by a guiding device. In order to keep the oscillating masses as small as possible and to improve the space conditions below the mold as well as to ensure easy repair, the lifting table is formed by at least two oscillating beams arranged at a distance leaving free the horizontal dimensions of the mold cavity and bridged by the supporting structure including the side walls.
