Abstract
A method for the continuous casting of metal strands. The liquid metal is simultaneously cast via a moulds into metal strands. The moulds each have a narrow side and a broad side. The moulds have a uniform narrow side so that the metal strands have equal thicknesses after casting. At least one of the moulds used has a broad side whose length differs from the length of the broad side of the other simultaneously used moulds. For each mould used, a sprue stone is provided, which is arranged on a casting table and is provided for receiving the starter strands. The casting of the metal strands includes a mould filling phase with a fixed casting table in which a plurality of starter strands is cast into the associated sprue stones. The casting includes a continuous casting phase in which the casting table is lowered and metal strands are cast.
