Abstract

A device for slag-free discharge into a continuous casting machine has a conventional starting pipe on an inlet of a discharge orifice of a tundish. A separate starting member blocks discharge through the starting pipe and floats upon a melt reaching a desired level. The device has improved features to ensure automatically the timely outflow of slag-free melt to the starting pipe.
