  • Patent number: 7980291
    Abstract: An arrangement for maintaining the warmth of slabs which exit from a continuous casting installation and which can be transported on a roller table for further processing. In order to optimize the thermal balance between the continuous casting installation and the hot rolling mill, a supporting part is provided for receiving a slab, which supporting part can be placed on the roller table and transported thereon, and an insulating box which can be placed upon the supporting part and which substantially encloses the latter.

  • Patent number: 7971629
    Abstract: A strand guide roller (100) of a strand guide device for guiding a cast strand (200) includes at least one first and one second sectional rollers arranged next to each other, includes a middle bearing (120-1, 120-2) located between both sectional rollers (110-1, 110-2) for receiving and supporting the roller journal (112-1) of the first sectional roller (110-1) formed on an end surface of the first sectional roller (110-1) adjacent to the second sectional roller (110-2), with the first and second sectional rollers being connected with each other outside of the middle bearing by a plug-in connection.

  • Publication number: 20100230067
    Abstract: The invention is directed to an arrangement for maintaining the warmth of slabs (3) which exit from a continuous casting installation and which can be transported on a roller table (1) for further processing. In order to optimize the thermal balance between the continuous casting installation and the hot rolling mill, it is proposed to provide a supporting part (2) for receiving a slab (3), which supporting part (2) can be placed on the roller table (1) and transported thereon, and an insulating box (4) which can be placed upon the supporting part (2) and which substantially encloses the latter.

  • Publication number: 20090165985
    Abstract: The invention relates to a strand guide roller 100 of a strand guide device for guiding a cast strand 200. The stand guide roller includes at least one first and one second sectional roller arranged next to each other, wherein the first sectional roller 110-1 has a roller journal 112-1 at its end surface adjacent to the second sectional roller. In addition, the strand guide roller includes a middle bearing 120-1, 120-2 between both sectional rollers 110-1, 110-2 for receiving and supporting the roller journal 112-1 of the first sectional roller. In order to improve strand guidance by increasing the bearing surface for the strand 200, it is suggested, according to the invention, that the first and second sectional rollers be connected with each other outside of the middle bearing by a plug-in connection. Then, according to the invention, the middle bearing is formed simply as unsplit separate bearing with an essentially smaller window width in comparison with a split bearing.

  • Patent number: 7497244
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for supporting and oscillating a continuous casting mold (1) for continuously casting molten metals, particularly molten metal materials, comprising: guide elements (4) symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central longitudinal axis (2) of the casting; fixed supporting parts (5), and; a continuous casting mold (1) supported on paired oscillating devices (6). The inventive device facilitates the accessibility to individual modules for maintaining and/or eliminating damages. To this end, a module (7) that, itself, can be removed, is formed from paired bearing blocks (9) with guide elements (4) and with a supporting casing (7a) connected to said bearing blocks. The module is placed upon a stationary submodule (7b) and detachably connected thereto.

  • Patent number: 6484546
    Abstract: A strip deflection roller, especially a tension measuring roller or looper roller for matching tension in rolling stock between two roll stands for hot rolling and cold rolling of strip. The strip deflection roller includes at least five adjacent disks which are mounted on a common eccentric shaft so as to be freely rotatable independently. At most two of the disks are mounted concentric to the axis of rotation of the eccentric shaft, and the height positions of the rest of the disks can be changed for influencing the profile and regulating the flatness of the strip guided over the strip deflection roller by rotating the eccentric shaft.
