Estimating the term…
In a device for controlling a plug (5) of a metallurgical vessel (1), in particular a distributing launder of a continuous casting installation, with a plug (5), which can be raised and lowered and which is supported in a support frame which is movable relative to the metallurgical vessel (1), the support frame for the plug (5), which can be raised and lowered, is supported outside of the metallurgical vessel (1) displaceable in a direction crosswise to the lifting direction of the plug (5) and can be releasably locked together with the metallurgical vessel. By means of this a simple separation of the plug mechanism (9) and the metallurgical vessel (1) is possible without operational elaboration and an exchange of the metallurgical vessel (1), for example, is made possible without having to dismantle the entire plug mechanism (5, 9).
A device for controlling a plug of a metallurgical vessel employed in a distributing launder of a continuous casting installation, said installation including a plug which can be raised and lowered and which is supported in a support frame adapted to be selectively locked in position relative to the vessel and which, when unlocked, is movable in respect of the metallurgical vessel, said frame being supported outside of the metallurgical vessel and adapted to be raised and lowered and rectilinearly displaced crosswise to the direction of movement of the plug.
