<p>Apparatus for continuously casting molten metal wherein the flexible band element used to enclose the peripheral groove of the casting wheel of a wheel-band type machine is relatively untensioned and supported along at least a portion of its path of travel by a highly flexible porous support belt through which a coolant may be directed to impinge upon the external surface of the flexible band. The flexible band element, in cooperation with the support belt, provides improved cooling efficiency and a longer life expectancy for the band.</p> |
