Abstract
The invention relates to a strip-casting machine for production of a metal strip, comprising two adjacent case-width casting rollers (), forming a casting gap (), with side seals () arranged on the front face thereof. The rotating casting rollers are mounted on a machine mount (). Between the above and the side seals (), the metal melt, introduced by means of at least one casting tube (), or similar, is protected by at least one gaseous medium. At least said casting rollers () are surrounded on at least the case width and front face thereof as well as the side seals by a preferably multi-component housing (). An optimal sealing of the casting rollers as well as the metal strip and the metal strip appearing from between the rollers can thus be achieved in a simple manner.
