Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0556938A2] The invention relates to a continuous casting machine for the horizontal casting of metals, in particular steel, in a plurality of strands. To enable a plurality of melts or casting ladles to be poured out or from continuously without interrupting casting, i.e. to carry out sequence casting, the invention proposes a multiple-strand continuous casting machine which comprises the following features: a casting ladle 1 with two outlet openings 2 arranged in the bottom; each outlet opening 2 is provided with a gate device; each outlet 2 is assigned at least one launder 30; each launder 30 has at least one outlet opening 35; each outlet opening 35 is assigned a mould 4 in axial alignment with it which can be connected firmly to the launder 30; each launder with the associated mould/s n,4 is mounted on a launder carriages 50; and the launder carriage 50 can be moved horizontally and transversely to the casting direction from a preparation position 7 into a casting position 8 underneath the casting ladle 1. <IMAGE>
