Melt feeding for strip casting systems

A strip casting system for aluminium and/or aluminium alloys comprising at least one casting furnace and at least one revolving chill mould having a casting gap, wherein the at least one revolving chill mould is designed as a roll pair, roller pair, caterpillar pair or belt pair, wherein the strip casting system has at least one active means for transporting aluminium or aluminium alloy melt from the casting furnace to the casting gap,

• wherein
• the strip casting system has a casting region arranged in front of the casting gap, wherein the casting region is delimited on at least one side by the revolving chill mould and the casting region is designed in such manner that an aluminium or aluminium alloy melt pool is formed in the casting region, from which aluminium or aluminium alloy melt flows or is drawn into the casting gap, wherein the casting furnace is connected to the casting region by a pipe system, wherein the strip casting system comprises means for feeding the aluminium or aluminium alloy melt into the casting region, which can feed the aluminium or aluminium alloy melt to the casting region below a surface of the aluminium or aluminium alloy melt pool formed in the casting region, wherein the casting region has at least two feed openings for aluminium or aluminium alloy melt.

A method for feeding an aluminium or aluminium alloy melt to the casting gap in a strip casting system for aluminium and/or aluminium alloys comprising at least one casting furnace and at least one revolving chill mould designed as a roll pair, roller pair, caterpillar pair or belt pair with a casting gap,

• wherein
• the aluminium or aluminium alloy melt is actively transported into a casting region arranged in front of the casting gap, wherein the casting region is delimited on at least one side by the revolving chill mould and the casting region is designed in such manner that an aluminium or aluminium alloy melt pool is formed in the casting region, from which aluminium or aluminium alloy melt flows or is drawn into the casting gap, wherein the aluminium or aluminium alloy melt is actively fed to the casting region below a surface of the aluminium or aluminium alloy melt pool formed in the casting region.
