Abstract
The casting installation is of the type in which the ingot mould is essentially constituted by two rolls (1, 1') which are energetically cooled, substantially horizontal and parallel and rotate in opposite directions, and two lateral closing plates (5), termed 'side dams', each maintained in contact with an end of each roll. According to the invention, the rolls (1, 1') have end portions of frustoconical shape and the contact between the rolls and the side dams occurs between the lateral surfaces (4a) of these frustoconical end portions and surfaces (7) of the peripheral parts (9) of the side dams which match their shape. Preferably, the parts (9) of the side dams in contact with the rolls are of ceramic.
