Abstract
This disclosure relates to a wheel-band type continuous casting machine wherein the endless flexible band is guided about the rotatably mounted casting wheel by means of a plurality of flangeless guide wheels, and is restrained from movement in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the casting wheel by means of band guides adapted to engage opposite edges of the endless band. The band guides comprise a plurality of rollers rotatably mounted adjacent the edges of the band with their axes of rotation arranged perpendicular to the direction of band movement therepast whereby the rollers are adapted to engage the edges of the band in rolling point contact. Means are provided for adjusting the position of the band guides with respect to the bands.
