ABSTRACT:
A continuous casting machine is disclosed of the type having a rotary casting drum with a mold cavity machined thereon, and a shoe in close engagement with the mold cavity so as to disperse molten media therein. The casting drum is formed from a series of ring segments that are interconnectable to form a shell having any desired width. By adding or subtracting ring segments, the width of the shell can be adjusted to the desired production specifications. In addition, a pressure control system is provided which is placed in fluid communication with the mold cavity via flow pathways through the casting drum upon rotation thereof. The pressure control system is operable for evacuating the mold cavity just prior to dispersion of molten media therein, and for subsequently ejecting the cast product upon solidification thereof.
