Abstract
A continuous casting device including at least a crystallizer suitable for casting a metal product, and a plurality of guide and containing segments with rolls, the function of which is to accompany the cast product exiting from the crystallizer. The device includes, an extension of or in an intermediate position to one or more of the guide and containing segments with rolls, one or more guide and containing segments of the mixed type with panels and rolls, each including one or more guide rolls disposed on at least one side of the product and insulated and/or reflecting and/or heated panels disposed on the opposite side of the product, so as to reduce the loss of temperature of the cast product in transit.
Claims6
A continuous casting device, comprising:
- a crystallizer for casting a metal product, said metal product having opposed first and second sides, and
- a plurality of guide and containing segments with rolls for accompanying the cast product exiting from the crystallizer,
- in extension of or in an intermediate position to one or more of said guide and containing segments with rolls, at least one guide and containing segment of a mixed type with panels and rolls comprising one or more guide rolls for being disposed on a first side of the product and at least one panel selected from the group consisting of insulated, reflecting and heated panels for being disposed on the second side of the product while the one or more guide rolls are being disposed on the first side of the product, to reduce the loss of temperature of the cast product in transit,
- said guide and containing segment of mixed type defining a path, having opposed first and second sides, for passing the metal product therethrough, the first side of the path for the first side of the product to travel therethrough, the second side of the path for the second side of the product to travel therethrough,
- a number of said guide rolls on the first side of the path directly opposed to the panels on the second side of the path.
