Abstract

A continuous casting process is disclosed wherein a plurality of endless flexible belts converge and travel proximate to each other in a common vertical direction to define a travelling mold cavity between the belt faces. Bar shaped products are cast if molten material is poured into the top of a downward moving cavity. Tube shaped products are cast by injection of molten material into the bottom of an upwardly moving cavity.
