Abstract

1,093,409. Continuous casting machines. ALUMINUM CO. OF AMERICA. Aug. 4, 1966 [Aug. 16, 1965], No. 35078/66. Heading B3F. [Also in Division F4] In an apparatus for continuously casting simultaneously a plurality of ingots from horizontally disposed open - ended water chilled moulds 14 means are provided, in the event of defects in one of the ingots, for closing off one of the moulds 14 and restarting casting from it without affecting the casting operations in the other moulds 14. The apparatus comprises a main feed 60 of molten metal feeding the moulds 14 through a distribution header 62 and branch troughs 64. The ingots emerge from the moulds 14 in a common horizontal plane and parallel to each other and a continuous belt 40 supports and withdraws the ingots under hold down rollers 46 to a shearing station at some location from the end of the belt 40. To close off a mould 14 a tapered plug 76 stops the flow of molten metal into the branch trough 64 and removal of plug 67 drains out the said trough. To re-start casting from the mould 14 a starting plug 84 is supported with one end in the mould 14 by a pair of rails 87 and, on restarting, a variable speed electric or hydraulic motor 166 withdraws the starting plug 84 by means of a cable or chain 170. The speed of withdrawal is gradually increased so that by the time the starting plug reaches the hold down rollers 46 it is travelling at the same speed as the belt 40. The starting plug 84 includes pins 118 and a rear guide assembly 120 for guiding the plug on the rails 87 and the rear guide assembly includes spring-loaded friction pads bearing on the rails 87 to prevent the plug 84 moving prematurely by contact with the belt 40.
