Abstract
In a system for sealing a dummy bar head in a mould of a continuous casting plant for casting large-format preliminary sections, a flat gasket () to seal the gap between the dummy bar head and the mould is provided, which is held on a packing plate () contained on the dummy bar head. Said packing plate has approximately the cross-sectional shape of the mould profile and covers the flat gasket (). The packing plate () is displaceable towards the centre of the mould by an amount which is a function of the conicity of the mould (). To this end, it consists of two plate halves () lying in one plane with respect to each other. This makes it possible, when inserting the dummy bar head, to compensate for the angled course of the mould with the contracting packing plate until the sealing gap between packing plate and mould remains uniform on all sides.
