Disclosed is an apparatus for and a method for more uniform and rapid cooling of molten metal, which is continuously cast into a wheel-band machine, by dispersing a relatively small amount of coolant from the periphery of a band presser wheel onto the continuous metal band at the point where the molten metal first contacts said band, with the unexpected beneficial effects of increasing the cast bar temperature and greatly reducing the amount of inverse segregation on the band-side surface of the resulting cast bar.
