Abstract: The invention relates to a casting-rolling system (1) for generating a thin or ultra-thin band from a cast thin slab made of steel in batch or continuous operation, comprising at least one casting system (2a, 2b) for casting a thin slab with a casting thickness from 90 mm to 150 mm, preferably from 90 mm to 140 mm, particularly preferably from 100 mm to 130 mm, and a casting width of at least 600 mm, preferably at least 1000 mm, at least one continuous furnace (7a, 7b) arranged downstream of the at least one casting system (2a, 2b), as well as at least 7, preferably 8 roll stands (9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20) arranged downstream of the continuous furnace (7a, 7b), wherein the at least one casting system (2a, 2b) comprises a casting mould (3a, 3b) with long sides spaced apart from one another by at least 90 mm to 150 mm, preferably 90 mm to 140 mm, particularly preferably 100 mm to 130 mm, and wherein the casting-rolling system (1) has no induction heater for reheating the cast thin slab and/or the rolled band. The invention also relates to a method for generating a thin or ultra-thin band, preferably by means of a casting-rolling system (1) of this type, wherein the thin slab and/or the band does not undergo any induction heating during the method for generating the thin or ultra-thin band.

Abstract: The invention relates to a clamping system (10) for fastening a cooling unit (12) on a circulating supporting element (13) of a caterpillar-type casting machine, and comprises at least one connecting element (20), which is pre-tensioned in its longitudinal direction by a spring (22), and clamping means (24), by which the cooling unit (12) is fastenable on the supporting element (13), wherein the connecting element (20) is accommodated in a displaceably mounted manner in the direction of its longitudinal axis inside the supporting element (13). The clamping means (24) is formed by a head (28) provided on an upper end face (26) of the connecting element (20) and a recess (30), which is provided on or in the cooling unit (12) and can be brought into interaction therewith, wherein the connecting element (20) is pre-tensioned by means of the spring (22) toward the supporting element (13) and is thus transferred into a clamping position, in which the cooling unit (12), when the head (28) of the connecting element (20) is engaged with the recess (30) provided on or in the cooling unit (12), is automatically clamped with the supporting element (13).

Abstract: A spray head for supplying at least one die of a forming machine with lubricating coolant, the forming machine including a lower die and an upper die, is preferably produced by rapid manufacturing and is designed as a single piece to a large extent. The use of rapid manufacturing allows the production of the most varied configurations, such as stabilizing honey-comb structures or drip points, which allow a more advantageous design of the spray head. The spray head carries at least one two-substance nozzle connected with at least one feed channel. The nozzle body of the nozzle and the channel wall of the feed channel are configured in one piece with one another or the channel wall of the feed channel and a spray head foot carrying a supply connector connected with the feed channel are configured in one piece with one another.

Abstract: A device for the thermal treatment of material comprises a housing having a heatable housing jacket, which surrounds a treatment chamber and forms a rotationally symmetrical treatment surface extending in an axial direction, and a drivable rotor, which is arranged in the treatment chamber and extends coaxially. The rotor comprises a shaft, arranged in a manner distributed over the circumference of which are spreading elements. The device also comprises a condensation space, in which a condenser is formed and into which gaseous material components escaping from the material during the thermal treatment can pass, a condensate outlet for discharging the material components condensed in the condensation space, and a vacuum connection, which is fluidically connected to the condensation space. The vacuum connection is arranged in a region of the housing that lies downstream of the treatment surface, as viewed in the transport direction of the material.

Abstract: An apparatus for winding up a metal strip into a coil. A frame in which a second counter-bending roller is mounted in a rotatable manner. The frame is movable with the aid of a second setting device between a coiler shaft position and a roller bed position. In the roller bed position, the second counter-bending roller alongside a first counter-bending roller acts as the roller bed roller of a roller bed which is arranged above the coiling device.

Abstract: The invention essentially is characterized in that downstream of the casting machine and upstream of the rolling device, in particular immediately behind shears for cutting the thin slab or the pre-strip, there is provided a scrap removal device, in particular a coiling device that winds the thin slabs or pre-strip into a coil which is removed from the installation as scrap. Therefore, the quality of the coil winding is not important as the wound then slab or pre-strip need not anymore be advanced to the rolling train. The resulting coil can be lifted with a forklift and bind during the emergency maintenance of the rolling train, without use of any personnel. No additional crane is required for scrap removal. In addition, no constructional measures, e.g., construction of a gravel pit for material cut by shears, are necessary.

Abstract: A caterpillar casting machine for producing a cast material from liquid metal, including two guide rails, which are used to form two endless horizontal circulating tracks arranged opposite each other, and a plurality of support elements, which are each guided on the guide rails with cooling blocks attached thereto such that a continuous chain of support elements is formed. The support elements are moved in a transport direction along the circulating tracks. Between the cooling blocks, which arrive at the opposite position in straight sections of the circulating tracks of the guide rails, a moving casting mold for the cast material is formed. A cooling device is also provided, which has separate cooling zones each with at least one cooling nozzle, wherein the cooling zones can be individually controlled along the transport direction and/or transverse to the transport direction to adjust an opening or closing of the cooling nozzles.
