PLANT FOR CONTINUOUS METAL CASTING WITH CURVILINEAR TECHNOLOGICAL AXIS Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: foundry, namely metal continuous casting systems. SUBSTANCE: plant includes mold, successively arranged slit- type rollers with inner cooling having intermediate supports mounted on cross beams and grouped in roller sections consisting of separate frames and cross beams mounted on carrying beams, pipelines for feeding cooling water and lubricant. Cross beams of terminal upper rollers are provided with hinged tie rod with fastening nuts passing through housing of lateral frames. In vertical walls of lateral frames there are slots for mounting cross beams of upper rollers with possibility of motion. In places of mutual contact of frames and beams there are respective gaskets. Bodies of intermediate supports of rollers are in direct contact with cross beams supporting pipelines for feeding and discharging cooling water and lubricant. EFFECT: simplification of mounting and dismounting processes of roller sections, enhanced accuracy of adjusting roller sections relative to technological axis of plant, high quality of continuously cast ingots. 3 cl, 4 dwg, 1 ex
