Abstract
The invention relates to a strip-casting machine ( ) for producing a metal strip. Said strip-casting machine consists of a pair of casting rolls ( ) arranged in side-by-side parallel relation of lateral sealing elements ( ) that are provided with respective sealing plates ( ) at both sides of the casting rolls ( ) and that adjoin the casting rolls. The contact pressure of the sealing plate ( ) against the casting rolls ( ) and/or the frictional conditions between them can be measured. The sealing plates ( ) at the front faces ( ) of the casting rolls ( ) are positioned at a distance of a few tenth of millimeters or so as to closely fit the front faces ( ) in the operational state, with our without contact pressure. The sealing plates are positioned in such a manner that also in the heated operational state the desired positions of the sealing plates relative to the front faces of the casting rolls are kept very precise.
