Continuous horizontal strip casting installation and method for producing a coilable metal strip

A continuous horizontal strip casting installation for carrying, comprising:

• a furnace;
• a chill mold in proximity to the furnace;
• a stationary draw-off unit for drawing the metal strip from the chill mold in a longitudinal direction, said unit having a plurality of draw-off rolls and being located at a distance downstream from the chill mold and the furnace, said unit having a Pilger-type reciprocating cycle;
• a strip cutting unit which is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the metal strip that is drawn out of the chill mold by the draw-off unit;
• a coiling unit having coiling rolls which can also be displaced in the same longitudinal direction;
• drives for the draw-off rolls, the coiling rolls, and the strip cutting unit;
• and
• a programmable controller, wherein
• at least one draw-off roll and one coiling roll can be driven in synchronization and, the drives of the draw-off and coiling rolls and the strip cutting unit are linked together by the programmable controller;
• and
• the installation is configured so that when there are deviations from synchronization in the cycle, the coiling unit is acted upon by a correction factor in the cycle with a positive or negative increment and is thereby kept in a middle position or returned incrementally in a defined period of time.
