<p>TWIN STRAND CONTINUOUS CASTING APPARATUS WITH A TUNDISH LOAD BALANCING VESSEL A twin strand continuous metal casting apparatus is disclosed including two casting molds, a vertical arbor assembly, and a tundish carrier assembly mounted on the arbor with a pair of forks each carrying a tundish projecting radially outward from a common hub around the arbor. A tundish loading vessel is provided having a pair of discharge spouts projecting in opposite directions. A support is connected between the forks, which carry the tundish loading vessel transversely above the forks with each spout over one of the tundishes. A rocking mechanism is provided to rock the loading vessel for varying the rate of metal discharge through the two spouts to the two tundishes and equalize the load of molten metal in the two tundishes. The rocking assembly comprises linkages which automatically respond to unequal loading of the two tundishes and tilt the loading vessel to increase the flow of metal to the lesser loaded of the two tundishes.</p> |
