Abstract

See full text

In an apparatus for the continuous thermal treatment of metal continuously cast material having a heating section, the metal continuously cast material having a heating section, the metal continuously cast material is led over two contact rollers, wherein the first contact roller is arranged at a first end and the second contact roller is arranged at a second end of said heating section. Both contact rollers are connected to a voltage source in such a way that a current flows through the metal continuously cast material between the first and the second contact roller. Here, electrical contact is made with one of the contact rollers via a sliding contact element, which is in electrical contact with a slip-ring disk arranged concentrically with the axis of said contact roller. The sliding contact element is arranged on a current-carrying element using a plug-in connection which can be detached by pulling and which has at least one resilient and electrically conductive fixing element.
