PLANT FOR PRODUCING METAL STRIP

摘要

Plant for the continuous casting of thick slabs, blooms or other similar steel products comprising an ingot mould and a series of containment and guiding rollers placed in the area below the ingot mould on both sides of the cast product, i.e. on the intrados and extrados, respectively. The rollers are arranged on at least three longitudinal rows and all have an axial length shorter that the width of the cast product. The rollers of a central longitudinal row are advantageously staggered with respect to the lateral longitudinal row rollers in such a way as to reduce the surface of the bulges created due to the ferrostatic pressure existing in the liquid core of the product at ingot mould outlet. Furthermore, the pitch between the adjacent rollers is advantageously always of different values so as to not cause the buckling of the bulges with a single frequency.
