Continuous casting installation with a heatable multiple-chamber furnace with furnace-dependent mold

A continuous casting installation, comprising:

• a heatable multiple-chamber furnace having a mold chamber, a pressure chamber in flow connection with the mold chamber, and an inlet channel in communication with the pressure chamber to permit charging of molten metal;
• pressure generating means for maintaining a constant metallostatic pressure in the mold chamber by regulating pressure ratios in the pressure chamber as a function of its degree of fullness with molten metal;
• a furnace-dependent mold arrangement in a flow connection with the mold chamber;
• a furnace-independent support frame, the mold arrangement being statically mounted to the furnace-independent support frame;
• weighing means for dynamically supporting and weighing the multiple-chamber furnace, the weighing means being connected with the pressure generating means so as to transmit weight information thereto;
• and
• compressible seal means for connecting the mold arrangement to the multiple-chamber furnace.
