Water discharge equipent fo the sec. cooling zone of a continuous casting plant copises a collector vessel which communicates with a tank provided with a drainage pipe. The collector vessel is funnel shaped and has a remoVable botto in the form of a trough made of low .pt. material. The tank is positioned externally of the tough. If a breakout occurs, the molten metal quickly melts through the bottom of the collector Vessel for reception in a separate container so that the danger of explosions is minimised and minimal clean-up operations on the equipment ae required. L'INVENTION SE RAPPORTE A UN DISPOSITIF POUR L'EVACUATION DE L'EAU DE LA ZONE DE REFROIDISSEMENT SECONDAIRE D'UNE MACHINE DE COULEE EN CONTINU NOTAMMENT D'EBAUCHES.CE DISPOSITIF COMPORTE UN CAISSON 7 AVEC UN TUBE D'EVACUATION 8 ET UN RECEPTACLE ADDITIONNEL REALISE SOUS LA FORME D'UN ENTONNOIR 4 COUPE OBLIQUEMENT DANS SA PARTIE INFERIEURE 5, LESDITS ELEMENTS COMMUNIQUANT ENTRE EUX. L'ENTONNOIR 4 COMPORTE UN FOND AMOVIBLE 6 FORMANT UNE GOULOTTE EN MATIERE FUSIBLE, LE CAISSON 7 ETANT DISPOSE A L'EXTERIEUR DE L'ORIFICE DE SORTIE DE LA PARTIE INFERIEURE 5 DE L'ENTONNOIR 4.CE DISPOSITIF EST APPLICABLE AUX MACHINES DE COULEE EN CONTINU DES EBAUCHES, DU TYPE HORIZONTAL OU INCLINE, DANS LEUR ZONE DE REFROIDISSEMENT SECONDAIRE.
