A ladle-rotating turret arrangement to be used in a continuous casting plant has a concrete base block with a hole through it, a central column inserted in the hole with play, carrier arms provided on the column, and two annular discs arranged at the hole at a distance from each other. At least one of the two annular discs is movable relative to the other one approximately perpendicularly to the central column and is fixable relative to the concrete base block. Annular ledges on the central column have spherical faces that rest on the two annular discs.

A starter bar head arrangement to be used in continuous casting plants has at least one strand anchoring piece connecting the starter bar head with the crop end of the strand by casting-on inserted in a recess of the starter bar head so that it protrudes therefrom and fixed by a transverse bolt, the recess being open towards the front face of the starter bar head, and the at least one strand anchoring piece is automatically droppable after removal of the transverse bolt and separation of the crop end.
