Abstract
A continuous casting plant in particular for long steel products is provided with a mould (), from which a cast strand () is continuously cast. The cast strand () is guided along a, in particular curved, guideway formed by guide rollers () arranged one after the other, and at the same time in a cooling chamber having spray members. The guide rollers () and/or the spray members are contained in a plurality of centring modules () or spray modules () arranged one after the other and are adjustable in a controlled manner substantially concentrically with respect to the desired axis of the cast strand. As a result, on the one hand, the risk of thermally overloading the rollers and damaging the strand surface is considerably reduced and symmetrical cooling is ensured.
