Patent ID: 6929055

Claim:
An apparatus for feeding a mold of a plant for the continuous casting of products of rectangular cross section, with molten metal, which comprises: a submerged entry nozzle ( 6 ) provided with outlets for the molten metal which lie in, or substantially in, the main casting plane (P) parallel to the broad faces of the mold, these outlets differing in their direction of outflow and falling within at least two separate types ( 7 , 8 ); an inductive unit ( 14 , 15 ) placed over the broad faces of the mold in order to produce thereon magnetic poles of opposite sign facing each other on each side of said main casting plane (P) and delivering, in its gap substantially surrounding the nozzle ( 6 ), a traversing magnetic field covering the outlets of at least one ( 7 ) of said types ( 7 , 8 ); and means ( 20 , 21 ) for adjusting the relative intensity of said magnetic field, in the region of the outlets of said type ( 7 ) which is covered, with respect to the outlets of the other type ( 8 ), so as to be able to modify the distribution of the total flow of molten metal between all the outlets of said nozzle ( 6 ).
