METHOD OF CASTING MELT INTO A PLURALITY OF CONTINUOUS CASTING MOULDS

摘要

Method of Casting Melt into a Plurality of Continuous Casting Moulds A method of pouring a molten metal from an intermediate vessel 3 into a plurality of continuous casting moulds A,B and C through respective discharge valves 4 and withdrawing all the castings 18 from the moulds with a common withdrawing unit 12,13 includes opening all the valves 4 to initiate the pouring process, and monitoring the filling level 20 within each mould in a measuring zone 9. Each valve 4 is throttled when the filling level in the associated mould reaches a first threshold level 21 and the withdrawing unit is switched on when all the filling levels are substantially the same or when the first of the filling levels reaches a second threshold level 22 above the first threshold level, whichever occurs first. Each discharge valve is adjusted when the filling level in the associated mould reaches a desired level 8 above the second threshold level so as to maintain the filling level substantially at the desired level.
