Abstract
A conveyor apparatus for delivering flux powder to the mold of a continuous casting installation for metals, especially steel, comprising two powder containers, a pneumatic conveyor means arranged between a supply container having large capacity and disposed externally of the direct servicing or operating region of the continuous casting mold and a container at the region of such mold having relatively small capacity. The pneumatic conveyor means conveys the flux powder by means of a pneumatic transport or conveying agent to the container of small capacity where the pneumatic conveying agent is expelled. A mechanical conveyor means extends from the container of relatively small capacity at the region of the mold to a location above the level of the metal bath in the continuous casting mold.
