In a continuous casting plant for the continuous casting of a thin strip (14), comprising a mold (8) provided with two casting rolls (6, 7), with a strip-like strand (14) being united from two half-shells (12) and exiting in a vertically downward direction at the nip (13) formed by the casting rolls (6, 7) of said mold, a deflecting-supporting means (16) for deflecting the strand (14) emerging vertically from the mold (8) into a roughly horizontal direction is provided below the nip (13). In order to gently transfer the strand (14) from the vertical into the horizontal while avoiding great bending stresses or plastic deformations, the deflecting-supporting means (16) of plate-shaped construction has a surface supporting the strand (14) over a large area (FIG. 1).
A continuous casting plant for the continuous casting of a thin strip having a thickness of below 20 mm, consisting of a mold provided with two casting rolls, with a strip-like strand being united from two half-shells and exiting in a vertically downward direction at the nip formed by the casting rolls of said mold, wherein below the nip a deflecting-supporting means is provided for deflecting the strand emerging vertically from the mold into a roughly horizontal direction, wherein the deflecting-supporting means, as a first guide element of the strip, is provided below the casting rolls, and the deflecting-supporting means has a plate-shaped construction and has a surface supporting the strand over a large area, at least a portion of the surface of the deflecting-supporting means being made of a material of high thermal conductivity.
