Abstract
For a multi-strand continuous casting installation there is proposed accomplishing the transverse conveying or transfer of the cut strand sections, not as was heretofore conventional practice by a single clearing or removal movement occurring over the entire width of the installation, rather by a number of successive partial conveying strokes or movements, wherein the strand section is displaced from its starting position either through the distance (s) or the distance (s'). Consequently, there is required for each strand section a number of shorter partial conveying strokes or displacement movements corresponding to the ordinal number of the strand from which it is derived, and thus, during cutting of shorter strand sections the clearing time can be better accommodated to the cycling of the cutting operation. The displacement paths, depending upon the technique employed, amount to either s=d.multidot.(N-1)/N or s'=d.multidot.N/(N+1), wherein N constitutes the number of strands and d their spacing. The apparatus for performing the method contains transport carriages possessing pivotable pawls which perform the displacement paths driven by a lever mechanism.
