ABSTRACT:
A feeding device for introducing molten steel into a twin-belt caster having mold walls which move exclusively in the casting direction. The feeding device comprises: a casting unit including a pouring pipe having a mouthpiece at one end which can extend between and form a sealing gap with the mold walls of a twin-belt caster, a first carriage moveable toward and away from a twin-belt caster and having the pouring pipe mounted thereon so that the pouring pipe is rotatable about a horizontal pivot axis and is laterally adjustable transversely to its longitudinal extent; a tundish mounted on a second carriage, which is disposed upstream of the first carriage and is independently moveable toward and away from the first carriage, so that the tundish is adjustable in height; and a compensating pipe for connecting the outlet of the tundish to the other end of the pouring pipe to permit molten steel to flow from the tundish through the pouring pipe. The compensating pipe has respective sealing surfaces at its opposed ends which respectively engage correspondingly shaped sealing surfaces on the other end of the pouring pipe and at the outlet of the tundish in a manner such that the engaging sealing surfaces are moveable relative to one another. The engaging sealing surfaces between the pouring pipe and the compensating pipe preferably form a ball joint and the engaging sealing surfaces between the compensating pipe and the tundish form a further ball joint or are two planar surfaces.
