Endless track continuous casting machine.

摘要

An endless track continuous casting machine having: a pair of upper and lower endless belts facing each other in a spaced apart relationship and travelling in a downwardly slanted direction and forming the long side wall of a mold; dam blocks continuously and closely disposed and pinched between both side edges of said pair of endless belts and supported by each of links forming an endless chain wound around sprockets disposed on both sides of the pair of endless belts, thus forming the short side wall of the mold. The dam blocks are mounted on each of the links of the endless chain such as to be movable inwardly and outwardly, and they are guided by a guiding mechanism to the projecting position when entering the advancing route and are guided to the setback position when entering the returning route. This guiding mechanism is adjustable to change the projected position of each dam block while the endless chain is moved, thus enabling the width of a cast piece to be altered without stopping the casting work.
