Abstract (en)

[origin: US5511606A] An arrangement for operating a continuous casting plant for the manufacture of thin slabs for hot strip rolling includes at least one pair of reducing rolls which follow a continuous casting mold. Adjustable strand guide elements are arranged following the pair of reducing rolls. A method of operating the continuous casting plant includes adjusting the pair of reducing rolls, after a predetermined length of the hot strand has traveled through the pair of reducing rolls, to a smaller gap between the reducing rolls which causes the liquid phase to be squeezed off, and deforming the hot strand by means of the pair of reducing rolls to a start-up size which has a thickness which is smaller than the thickness of the desired final size, and subsequently adjusting, preferably successively, the strand guide segments and the pair of reducing rolls to the thickness of the final size as soon as the start-up size having the smaller thickness has completely reached the range of adjustment of the respective strand guide segments and the pair of reducing rolls.
