Abstract
A strand withdrawal assembly for use in clamping strands being withdrawn from a casting mould of a continuous casting plant is disclosed. At least two strands are withdrawn and are clamped between a lower, driven roll and a pair of upper rolls. The upper rolls are rotatably mounted on an eccentric shaft which is itself rotatably supported at either end and is capable of being raised or lowered by suitable hydraulic cylinders. The eccentric shaft accommodates minor variations in thickness of the clamped strands and allows for the application of equal pressure to the strands even though they are of unequal and varying thicknesses.
