Abstract
A strand pulling-off method for a metal strand, particularly a steel strip, cast in a curved continuous casting plant, wherein the metal strand is initially vertically pulled from a casting mold, wherein a curved shape is then imparted on the metal strand in a curved entry driver driven with an entry torque, and wherein, after reaching a horizontal strand travel direction, the metal strand is finally straightened in a curved exit driver driven with an exit torque. An entry speed is assigned to the curved entry driver and an exit speed is assigned to the curved exit driver, the entry torque and the exit torque are determined, and the exit speed is adjusted in such a way that the entry torque as well as the exit torque have a positive value.
