Abstract (en)

[origin: CN111659863A] The invention relates to a method for refitting continuous casting equipment (1) for the continuous casting of a strand with a billet or bloom cross-section and the refitted continuous casting equipment (1). The object of the invention is to increase the productivity of the continuous casting equipment (1) and the metallurgical quality of the strands produced by the refit. The object is achieved by the following steps: i) moving a flame cutting machine (6) in the casting direction so that a free space (F) is created between the last pull-out unit (5) and the moving flame cutting machine (6); ii) installing at least one soft-reduction unit (8) in the free space (F), each soft-reduction unit (8) having an adjusting device (9) and a strand guide roller (10) which can be adjusted by the adjusting device for reducing the thickness of the strand.
