Abstract
Abstract A plant for producing ingots from molten metal poured on a tray and formed by the influence of an electromagnetic field of an inductor said inductor being located in a space of a collector and the ingot being immersed in a cooling agent as it is discharged from holes in the collector onto the side surface of the ingot.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
176 words
An ingot-producing plant comprising: a tray on which the molten metal is poured to be formed into an ingot; a collector whiCh serves as the body of said plant, surrounding the ingot laterally and having a space for the cooling agent and holes for the discharge of said cooling agent, said holes being located on the ingot-facing side ,a vertical partition located within the space for the cooling agent and surrounding the ingot laterally for suppressing turbulent streams of coolant; an inductor located in the space of said collector on the ingot side of said partition and surrounding the ingot laterally, the inductor being immersed into the cooling agent and intended to build up an electromagnetic field which forms molten metal into an ingot; and a shield secured to said collector at the side of the ingot, the tray being positioned below the level of the holes in the collector for discharge of cooling agent, so that the cooling agent is discharged onto the side surfaces of the tray and the ingot as it is formed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
176 words
An ingot-producing plant comprising: a tray on which the molten metal is poured to be formed into an ingot; a collector whiCh serves as the body of said plant, surrounding the ingot laterally and having a space for the cooling agent and holes for the discharge of said cooling agent, said holes being located on the ingot-facing side ,a vertical partition located within the space for the cooling agent and surrounding the ingot laterally for suppressing turbulent streams of coolant; an inductor located in the space of said collector on the ingot side of said partition and surrounding the ingot laterally, the inductor being immersed into the cooling agent and intended to build up an electromagnetic field which forms molten metal into an ingot; and a shield secured to said collector at the side of the ingot, the tray being positioned below the level of the holes in the collector for discharge of cooling agent, so that the cooling agent is discharged onto the side surfaces of the tray and the ingot as it is formed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The plant of claim 1 wherein said inductor is located contiguous to the ingot-facing wall of said collector.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The plant of claim 1 wherein said inductor is located contiguous to the vertical partition extending along the collector space and intended to suppress the turbulent streams of the cooling agent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The plant of claim 3 wherein the shield is located in the collector space above the inductor.
