Abstract

An arcuate supporting and guiding construction for continuously cast strands, in particular slabs, has a framework comprised of at least two framework parts, sets of inner and outer arcuate longitudinal carriers positioned within the framework and accommodating rollers to form roller paths supporting the strand at two opposite sides thereof, and a plurality of spaced drawing anchors arranged at right angles to the roller paths to connect the oppositely arranged framework parts, wherein the drawing anchors can be brought into and out of a connection position and detached and removed from one of the framework parts.
