Abstract (en)

[origin: US6913065B2] A device for continuously casting metals, especially steel, consists of multipleconsecutive segments ( 1 ) which each form the strand guide for casting strands of different widths ( 4 ), with roller pairs ( 2 ). The rollers are rotationally mounted on segment frames ( 5; 6 ), these segment frames ( 5; 6 ) each being braced with strand guide frames ( 10 ) on both sides. The aim of the invention is to reduce profile increases in the cross-section of the casting strand ( 4 d) in the residual solidification area ( 4 b), by providing a power mechanism ( 13 ) at least on the fixed side of the segment frame ( 5 ) of a segment ( 1 ), between the segment frame ( 5 ) and a transversal member ( 11 ) connecting the strand guide frames ( 10 ) on the two sides. Said power mechanism is situated approximately on the middle strand axis. The power transmission element ( 13 a) of the power mechanism acts upon the segment frame ( 5 ), while its base ( 13 b) is supported on the transversal member ( 11 ).
