Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1616644A1] Assembly to change the ladles (8,9), in a continuous casting machine, brings the ladles alternately into the pouring position to deliver molten steel to a distributor in a mold for shaping and initial hardening. A seat (7) has openings to hold the ladles, supported by a coaxial bearing ring (5) for the ladles to lie within an axial projection of the bearing ring. The seat rotates on rollers riding in a pathway on the bearing ring to bring the ladles into their required positions. The bearing ring has a passage opening (20) for the ladles to be moved in and out.
