Device and method for degassing melts in continuous casting plants

Abstract

The invention relates to a device (1) and a method for degassing a melt in a continuous casting plant, comprising at least one container (2), wherein the container (2) is divisible into an upper region (2.1) and a lower region (2.2), wherein the upper region (2.1) of the container (2) has a first inlet (3) for a casting jet (A) of the melt and the lower region (2.2) of the container (2) has an outlet (4) for a melt pool (B) of the melt collecting in the lower region (2.2), wherein the upper region (2.1) of the container (2) has a second inlet (5) for an inert gas and an outlet (6) for generating a vacuum at least in the upper region (2.1) of the container (2), and wherein the upper region (2.1) and the lower region (2.2) of the container (2) form a common volume.
