<p>A forced cooling continuous casting apparatus has a loop track for guiding a stool having a lower mold (21) fitted thereto and having a punch-out portion (28). A plurality of stations are sequentially disposed on the loop track for effecting the steps of cleaning (8) the lower mold (21), arranging (9) an upper mold (24), inserting (10) tubular members (25) for cooling, setting (11) a cooling plate (31) having a plurality of cooling nozzles (36) for passing a cooling medium through the tubular members (25), pouring (1) a molten metal, effecting cooling in several stages (2-5), removing (12) the cooling plate and taking out the resulting castings. A cooling medium tube (40) communicates with the cooling nozzles (36), having a coupler (41) and disposed on the cooling plate (31), A cooling medium feeder (18) is connected to the coupler (41) and/or a cooling medium jet device (51) for cooling the lower mold (21), and is disposed at each of the cooling stations (2-5). </p> |
