Abstract

A slide gate nozzle for a slide gate carried by a closure frame which includes two independent arms pivotally connected with a casting vessel for slidably moving the slide gate with respect to the casting vessel and for moving the slide gate away from the vessel to facilitate changing of the ceramic plates. Rocker frames are pivotally connected with the arms and include rollers on which a guide rail rides in the sliding direction of the slide gate, and the swivelly connected rocker frame assures even pressure of the ceramic plates.
