Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0401145A1] This device comprises two parallel horizontal cylinders (2a, 2b) defining between them an intermediate volume for the molten metal (1) to be cast, the ends of which are closed by plates (4) with a specified clearance between them and the surfaces of the cylinders against which they are continuously held; in order to maintain the constant clearance during the successive castings, the plates (4) incorporate rolling bearing components (7) which bear on the terminal faces of the cylinders (2a, 2b) and which project from the surfaces of the plates (4) by a distance equal to the clearance (e) provided; the plates (4) are continuously held against the cylinders by means of springs (10) bearing on a frame (20). The rolling bearing components (7) (rollers and/or balls) prevent any wear of the plates and their clearance is automatically maintained by means of the springs (10) during casting. <IMAGE>
