In a casting device for the continuous production of metal strip using an endless cooling and transport belt; a distributor is constructed as twin chamber with an entrance and charge chamber, and an exit and discharge chamber communicating with the entrance chamber, a nozzle is provided at the exit and discharge chamber, the distributor, at least in the range of the discharge chamber, is gas tightly closed and is mounted in an inclination-adjustable frame; a gas pressure controllable source is connected to the discharge chamber and controlled in response to thickness variations of the strip; a distance measuring device (ram pressure) is arranged at the casting nozzle for measuring the distance of the casting nozzle from the casting belt; a controller responds to the measuring output of the distance measuring device and provides for controlling the elevational and vertical disposition of the distributor within said frame; another controller varies elevation of the upper belt stringer, also in response to thickness variations of the strip being made.
