Abstract
A side dam for a continuous metal casting apparatus includes an insulator and a belt system having an endless belt. The endless belt includes a belt surface, and the endless belt is movable relative to the insulator such that a portion of the belt surface is configured to face a casting cavity of the continuous metal casting apparatus as the endless belt is moved. In some examples, the endless belt is movable in a plane of motion that is perpendicular to the belt surface.
