Abstract
A tundish carriage for a double-strand continuous caster has a carriage frame displaceable on rails straddling a pair of parallel-wall or funnel-shaped continuous casting billet molds. The frame is of trapezoidal configuration with one relatively long beam and one relatively short beam connected by transverse beams at vertices provided with bolsters riding on the rails and with units for raising and lowering the trough for receiving the molten metal. The casting tubes extend downwardly from the trough and can be individually aligned with the respective molds without affecting the position of the other casting tube, utilizing an adjusting device at each bolster connecting a transverse beam with the longer of the longitudinal beams.
