Abstract: A device for introducing and exchanging a casting tube in a bottom-pour casting vessel allows a worn tube to be replaced without interrupting the casting operation when a movable plate casting tube assembly is mounted in a sliding manner on guides which are suitable for transmitting upward thrust pressure. If the replacement tube is introduced by pivoting in the well of the ingot mould, the exchange of the tube can be carried out without raising the distributor.
