20140103080 | CHOP GATE AND NOZZLE - A shop gate and a nozzle are suitable for being coupled with the bottom floor of a tundish, said nozzle comprising a hollow tube with an axial bore extending from an inlet opening at a first end of the nozzle to an opposite outlet opening at or adjacent the second, opposite end, and comprising a flange extending substantially normal to the axis of the tube and located between said first and second ends, characterized in that the flange comprises a lower, guiding surface facing towards the second end of the tube, said guiding surface being flat and substantially normal to the tube. | 04-17-2014 |
20140048225 | CASTING PLATE AND CASTING PLATE CASING WITH DETECTOR-ENGAGING PROTRUSION - Casting plates constructed for facing the casting orifice of a metallurgical vessel are provided with a metallic casing. The casting plates and metallic casing are provided with a protrusion configured to interact with a detector. The casing has a main surface with an opening, and two substantially longitudinal bearing surfaces. The protrusion extends from the casing in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal bearing surfaces. The protrusion is formed by a ramp having an inclined portion. | 02-20-2014 |
20130008928 | FRAME FOR A DEVICE FOR HOLDING AND REPLACING CASTING PLATES AND ASSEMBLY - A frame, for a device for holding and replacing plates for transferring molten metal contained in a metallurgical vessel having a casting channel, defines a housing for receiving and holding a plate, when the device is assembled, in the operating position in the vicinity of the casting channel of the metallurgical vessel. The frame is arranged to enable the introduction of the plate into the housing, and the extraction of the plate from the housing, by translation along a plate insertion direction. The housing is formed so as to have an overall planar symmetry in relation to a central longitudinal plane parallel with the plate insertion direction. The frame comprises slots for receiving thrusters intended, when the device is assembled, to apply a force, in the direction of the metallurgical vessel, on a plate inserted in the housing. | 01-10-2013 |
20130008623 | DEVICE FOR HOLDING AND REPLACING A CASTING PLATE IN A CASTING INSTALLATION, METALLIC CASING OF CASTING PLATE, PROVIDED WITH MEANS INTERACTING WITH A DEVICE DETECTOR - A device that holds and replaces a casting plate in a continuous casting installation metallurgical vessel contains a detector-limit switch assembly that automatically moves a casting plate to the casting position or to the sealing position, depending on whether a replacement plate is on standby on the device or not. Casting plates used with the invention are provided with a metallic casing. The casting plates and metallic casing are configured to interact with the detector contained in the device. | 01-10-2013 |
