Abstract: Apparatus to replace a guide unit in a continuous casting machine. A platform is positioned, during use, at the side of a casting line, and is provided with at least a first positioning zone of at least a first guide unit and at least a second positioning zone of at least a second guide unit. The platform is associated with a rotation device to take, on each occasion, the first positioning zone or the second positioning zone facing the side of the casting line. A movement device moves the second guide unit from a positioning zone outside the platform and, during use, in line with the casting line, to the second positioning zone of the platform and to move the first guide unit from the first positioning zone of the platform to the positioning zone outside the platform and, during use, in line with the casting line.

Abstract: A soft reduction device (1) of a round-section metal product, having liquid or partially liquid core, for reducing the thickness of said metal product coming from a continuous casting machine, the device comprising at least two soft reduction units (2, 3); in which said at least two soft reduction units (2, 3) are arranged in series; in which each soft reduction unit (2, 3) is provided with a group of only three rolls arranged at 120° from one another; and wherein the group of three rolls (7, 8, 9) of one soft reduction unit is offset by a predetermined angle with respect to the group of three rolls (10, 11, 12) of an adjacent soft reduction unit.

Abstract: Apparatus for continuous casting comprising a support structure provided with a containing casing configured to support inside it a mold equipped with a plurality of longitudinal passage channels for the passage of a cooling liquid. The containing casing and the mold together define an introduction chamber and a discharge chamber for the cooling liquid, and the introduction chamber and the discharge chamber are fluidically connected by the passage channels. The mold comprises a first tubular element and a second tubular element disposed inside the first tubular element. The second tubular element comprises a plurality of plates each provided with passage channels and connected to each other to define a through casting cavity. The first tubular element is provided with connection members to connect the passage channels of the plates respectively with the introduction chamber and with the discharge chamber.

Abstract: Apparatus for continuous casting comprising a support frame and a plurality of plates coupled to each other to define a tubular element provided with a casting cavity. Positioning members are provided to connect the plates to the support frame. The positioning members comprise attachment devices suitable to connect at least a first plate to a wall of the support frame, and thrust devices configured to compress the other plates with respect to each other, in correspondence with respective connection edges and against the at least one first plate.
