Zusammenfassung:A continuous casting apparatus (100) includes a first belt (112) carried by a first upstream pulley (116) and a first downstream pulley (118), a second belt (114) carried by a second upstream pulley (120) and a second downstream pulley (122), and a mold region defined by a first mold support section (132) arranged behind the first belt (112) and a second mold support section (134) arranged behind the second belt (114). The first mold support section (132) supports the first belt (112) and defines a shape of the first belt (112) in the mold region and the second mold support section (134) supports the second belt (114) and defines a shape of the second belt (114) in the mold region. At least one of the first mold support section (132) and the second mold support section (134) includes a transition portion (140) and a generally planar portion (142) downstream from the transition portion (140). The transition portion (140) has a variable radius configured to receive molten metal from a metal feeding device (128). Fig. 3
