Abstract
The continuous casting machine comprises two counter-rotary rolls (1, 2) having parallel axes disposed in confronting relation with a given gap therebetween and on the axial ends of which two lateral walls (5a) are applied so as to define a pouring space (3) between the rolls. The rapid changing device for the lateral wall (5a) comprises a turret (14) having means (16) for fixing at least two lateral walls in positions which are separated from each other by a rotation through a given angle about the axis of the turret. Means for shifting the turret in rotation in steps of amplitude corresponding to the given angle of rotation permit shifting one lateral replacement wall (5b) from a standby position to a position occupied by the lateral wall (5a) which is in service and has to be replaced.
