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 with a casting gap thereinbetween and of lateral sealing elements ( ) that are provided with respective sealing plates ( ) at both sides of the casting rolls ( ) that are pushed or pressed against the casting rolls from the front by means of pushing or pressing means. The respective sealing plate ( ) is pushed or pressed against the two equilateral front faces ( ′) of the casting rolls ( ) in such a manner that, in the heated operational state, it facilitates an extremely exact positioning on the front faces of the casting rolls. To this end, the sealing plate ( ) is mounted in such a manner as to allow a three-dimensional displacement of the sealing plate, as if floating.
