Abstract (en)

[origin: US6427758B1] A strand pulling-off method for a metal strip cast in a curved continuous casting plant and a curved continuous casting plant, wherein the metal strip is initially pulled vertically from a casting mold using a curved entry segment driven with an entry speed. A curved shape is imparted to the metal strip in the curved entry segment such that the metal strip travels in a circular arc. The metal strip is straightened after reaching a horizontal strip travel direction using a curved exit segment driven with an exit speed and conveying the metal strip out of the curved exit segment. The metal strip is guided between the curved entry segment and the curved exit segment initially over a reaction roller arranged at the circular arc and then over a guide roller underneath the circular arc and it is detected whether the metal strip is in contact with the guide roller or the metal strip is lifted off from the guide roller, wherein the exit speed is increased when the metal strip is in contact with the guide roller and the exit speed is decreased when the metal strip is lifted off from the guide roller.
