ABSTRACT:
This disclosure relates to a method of and apparatus for continuously casting molten metal in a wheel-band type continuous casting machine, wherein the machine includes a casting mold the length of which may be changed with equal facility either when the machine is shut down or during the actual casting operation. The machine includes a plurality of guide wheels disposed at predetermined angular positions with resepct to the casting wheel for guiding the casting band about the casting wheel. The mold length is varied by synchronously moving at least two of the guide wheels into angular positions different from their initial angular positions, thereby varying the position of the mold outlet and thus changing the length of the mold. At least two of the guide wheels are moved either by means for rotating the wheel through an arc about an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the casting wheel or by means translating the guide wheel along a line of motion perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the casting wheel.
