Abstract

A continuous-casting mold has walls resting on an oscillating lifting platform and is provided with a stirrer which incorporates a magnetic circuit. The stirrer has a yoke which at least partially surrounds the walls of the mold and which has at least two cores facing opposite sides of the mold. In order to prevent the magnetic force of the stirrer from deforming the walls of the mold, the lifting platform, which sets the walls of the mold into oscillation, is designed as the yoke and each core is located on a bracket projecting out of the lifting platform.
