Abstract
The machine includes a mold to be inserted in a frame-type mold table, a strand guide connected downstream of the mold and a mold oscillator supporting and moving the mold table. In order to minimize restranding times during section change through the formation of a section-related machine head, a first strand guide segment is detachably integrated in a strand guide segment connected downstream and a mold stirrer is supported on the second strand guide segment.
Claims7
