Abstract

An apparatus for the removal, accompanied by simultaneous turning, of cut-to-length hot strand sections from the delivery or run-out roller tables of a multistrand continuous casting installation for steel. The pivot shaft of pivotal levers, provided with receiver or take-up portions for the cut-to-length strand sections, is located below a cooling bed arranged laterally of the delivery or run-out roller tables, approximately at the center between the cooling bed and the roller table located furthest from such cooling bed. By virtue of the foregoing and due to the constructional configuration of the receiving portions or strand section-receivers and a slide or chute operatively associated with the roller table situated closest to the cooling bed, it is possible, with the aid of only one single pivot mechanism or device, to conjointly directly transfer a number of strand sections which are simultaneously turned through an angle of about 90.degree., from different run-out roller tables, onto the cooling bed and to further displace the entire stack of strand sections.
