    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.

    Abstract: A method for producing an aluminum strip (2) in a coupled casting-rolling process, includes the following steps: a) melting an aluminum raw material comprising at least one aluminum alloy in at least one melting assembly (4); b) determining the alloy composition of the melt (3); c) casting the melt (3) to form a hot strip by means of at least one strip-casting machine (6); d) rolling the hot strip in a rolling system (14) comprising at least one rolling device for shaping the hot strip for thickness and/or width reduction; and e) regulating and/or controlling at least one shaping parameter of the rolling system (14) as a function of the alloy composition of the melt (3). The disclosure also relates to a casting-rolling system (1) for carrying out the method.

    Abstract: A rolling apparatus, including a stand, at least two rolls, which are attached to the stand by chocks and are displaceable in relation to one another in the axial direction, and at least one axial displacing device, which is assigned to a chock of at least one of the rolls and can act on this chock. The axial displacing device has a fixed block, at least one displaceable bending block and at least one displacing cylinder, which is assigned to the bending block and by which the bending block can be displaced in relation to the fixed block. The fixed block is of a multipart form.

    Abstract: A casting nozzle for feeding molten metal into a moving casting mold of a caterpillar casting machine, including an elongated housing body having a slot-like outlet side (A), wherein multiple flow passages are formed in the housing body along its longitudinal direction (x) and over its width direction (B), through which passages molten metal can be channeled in the direction of the outlet side (A) and can be fed from there into the moving casting mold, wherein the housing body is of an at least two-part design in the direction of its height and has at least one upper shell and at least one lower shell, wherein the upper shell and the lower shell are spaced apart from one another by separating webs and the individual flow passages extend between the separating webs.
