PURPOSE:To enable control of a casting speed, control of the tension on a pair of driven endless metallic belts and adjustment of meandering with the titled installation which forms the side walls on long sides with said belts by extending the belts to specific three pulleys. CONSTITUTION:An endless metallic belt 4 is extended to a driving pulley 3, a tension pulley 1 and a steering pulley 2 existing between these pulleys in such a way that the driving locus on the side face of the belts show a triangular shape, thus forming the wall surface on a long side. The wall surface on a short side is formed of a stationary casting mold 5 thereby constituting a casting space for a molten metal. The pulley 3 is disposed at the bottom end on the inside wall surface of said casting mold space and functions to drive the belt 4 so as to adjust the casting speed. The pulley 1 is disposed at the top end on the inside wall of the above-mentioned casting mold space and functions to adjust the tension of the belt 4. The pulley 2 functions to adjust meandering of the belt 4. Stable casting of a thin slab at a high speed is made possible according to such construction. |
