Abstract

A cast piece guide roll segment in continuous casting equipment having a curved cast piece guide path which is used in the structure for supporting the roll groups in the respective curved portions for guiding the cast piece leaving the mold along the curve between the vertical and horizontal paths. In view of the problems inherent in continuous casting equipment such as the need for frequent roll changes and emergency shut-downs, the roll segment disclosed includes roll units having at least a pair of rolls and bearings provided at opposite ends thereof and removable from a frame, on which frame are mounted pivotable caps for holding roll units.
