Abstract

An apparatus for use during continuous casting for the introduction of a metallic, typically steel melt into the casting head of a continuous casting mold, comprising a substantially tubular-shaped portion which directly merges with a pouring or casting vessel, the cross-sectional area of the tubular-shaped portion being greater than the cross-sectional area of the pouring outlet at the casting vessel. A chamber-like portion of larger cross-sectional area merges with the tubular-shaped portion. The chamber-like portion is equipped with a multiplicity of neighboring openings, the individual cross-sectional area of which is considerably smaller than the cross-sectional area of the tubular-shaped portion.
