Abstract
A roll line unit for a continuous casting apparatus includes a roll mantle having two ends and a non-rotatable shaft including a coolant line. The roll mantle is rotatably mounted on the non-rotatable shaft by means of a first bearing located in a first end region of the roll mantle and a second bearing located in a second end region of the roll mantle. The roll mantle includes at least one coolant channel having at least one fluid inlet that is arranged to be in fluid communication with the coolant line. The roll line unit includes two outer seals located on an axially outward side of each of the first and second bearings, whereby the outer seals and the first and second bearings are located axially inwards of the ends of the roll mantle.

A roll line unit for a continuous casting apparatus comprising:
- a roll mantle having a first end and a second end;
- a non-rotatable shaft including a coolant line;
- first and second bearings rotatably mounting the roll mantle to the shaft, the first bearing being located in a first end region of the roll mantle and the second bearing being located in a second end region of the roll mantle;
- and
- first and second outer seals, the first outer seal being located on an axially outward side of the first bearing and axially inward of the first end of the roll mantle, the second outer seal being located on an axially outward side of the second bearing and axially inward of the second end of the roll mantle;
- wherein the roll mantle has at least one coolant channel with at least one fluid inlet arranged to be in fluid communication with the coolant line of the shaft.
A continuous casting apparatus comprising:
- at least one roll line unit including:
- a roll mantle having a first end and a second end;
- a non-rotatable shaft including a coolant line;
- first and second bearings rotatably mounting the roll mantle to the shaft, the first bearing being located in a first end region of the roll mantle and the second bearing being located in a second end region of the roll mantle;
- and
- first and second outer seals, the first outer seal being located on an axially outward side of the first bearing and axially inward of the first end of the roll mantle, the second outer seal being located on an axially outward side of the second bearing and axially inward of the second end of the roll mantle;
- wherein the roll mantle has at least one coolant channel with at least one fluid inlet arranged to be in fluid communication with the coolant line of the shaft.
A roll line unit for a continuous casting apparatus comprising:
- a roll mantle having a first end and a second end;
- a non-rotatable shaft including a coolant line;
- and
- first and second bearings rotatably mounting the roll mantle to the shaft, the first bearing being located adjacent to the first end of the roll mantle and the second bearing being located adjacent to the second end of the roll mantle;
- wherein the roll mantle has at least one coolant channel with at least one fluid inlet fluidly connected with the coolant line of the shaft.
