Abstract
Semiannular mold space is defined by a pair of rotary wheels and an endless belt trained around circumferential surfaces of the wheels. Molten metal is injected into the mold space upwardly so that the molten metal is statically poured into the mold. The circumferential edges of the opposing surfaces of the wheels have inclined surfaces in such a manner that the width of the mold space becomes narrower in a direction toward the axis of the wheels. The molten metal is continuously solidified by the belt and the inclined surfaces and withdrawn horizontally from the mold space as a cast strip which remains unsolidified molten metal within the upper portion of the solid shell.
