Abstract (en)

[origin: US4774999A] At the latest before response of the measuring mechanism which senses the filling state of the melt tundish the opening rate of the outlet of the tundish is brought to near its standard opening rate and, after obtaining a clear signal from the filling state measuring mechanism or reaching a first predetermined filling height, the withdrawal mechanism is switched on and the withdrawal speed delayed for determination of the opening rate of the outlet. Advantageously the speed of the discharge rollers is measured by a tachometer which transmits a normalized signal which is then multiplied by a signal determined by the standard opening rate. The resultant signal controls the opening rate of the outlet. After the running stage of the withdrawal mechanism or after attaining a second predetermined filling height which is higher than the first filling height, only an I-governing branch of the control circuit controls the opening rate of the outlet and, after reaching a third predetermined filling height, which corresponds approximately with the standard desired filling height, control is transferred to an I-P regulation.
