CONTINUOUS CASTING PLANT FOR SLABS

摘要

A continuous casting plant for slabs, comprising a watercooled mould from which the strand is continuously extracted, a supporting- and guiding means having rollers for guiding the strand between them, and a cooling device having nozzles for spraying a coolant, in particular water, onto the strand and the rollers, wherein a part of said cooling device is formed by flat jet nozzles arranged parallel to the surface of the strand, their longitudinal axes being parallel to the axes of the rollers, and two flat jet nozzles are arranged between neighbouring rollers. Advantageously, the flat jet nozzles are arranged within the area defined by the slab edges of the slab sizes to be cast in the plant, and advantageously they are arranged opposite, toward each other. Furthermore, the flat jet nozzles can have nozzle openings in opposite directions, each opening pointing toward the slab edges. Advantageously, the flat jet nozzles are displaceable in the direction of the roller axes and are thus adjustable to various slab widths.
