Abstract: An apparatus for removing non-metallic foreign matter in a molten steel includes a tundish and a coil device. The tundish is an intermediate container receiving the molten steel from a ladle and feeding a purified molten steel by removing the non-metallic foreign matter in the molten steel. For removing the non-metallic foreign matter, the tundish has a swirl flow bath and a floatation bath. In the circumference of the swirl flow bath of the tundish, a coil device is arranged for flowing the molten steel in the swirl flow bath in swirl fashion. The tundish and the coil device are formed separately and constructed for relative movement to each other. The molten steel in the swirl flow bath of the tundish is flown in swirl fashion in the horizontal direction by a magnetic field generated by the coil device. At this time, the molten steel forms a parabolic concaved surface.
