Abstract
A continuous vertical casting line includes an elongated vertical casing of U-shaped section with a continuous casting mold at the upper end of the casing. Within the casing are rotatable support rings for supporting guiding rollers along the axis of the blank cast by the casting mold. The roller portion of the casing supports an extractor in the form of a single pair of extraction rollers. The extraction rollers are mounted on a support rotatable by a mechanism in a stationary base. The roller support is removably retained on its base, and the base is removably retained in the casing. The arrangement permits substantial reduction in weight of the casting line and simplifies both the construction of the casting line and the removal and replacement of components.
