ABSTRACT:
A batch-casting mold table assembly for casting slabs. The assembly includes a frame positionable over a pit sized for holding cast slabs. The frame is moveable between a slab-casting position in which the frame is positioned directly over the pit for casting slabs and a slab-removal position in which the frame is positioned beside the pit so the pit is accessible for removing slabs. The assembly also includes at least one hydraulic cylinder mounted on the frame. The cylinder has a piston reciprocally moveable in response to hydraulic fluid entering and leaving the cylinder. In addition, the assembly includes a control system operatively connected to the hydraulic cylinder for controlling movement of the piston and a table for holding a batch-casting mold. The table is moveable up and down in response to the piston movement for oscillating the mold up and down over the cooling pit as molten metal is poured through the mold to produce slabs having a smooth surface finish.
