Abstract

An apparatus for the continuous casting of metals, especially of steel, is equipped with a base frame (2) carrying a continuous casting mold (1) and an oscillating device (3) disposed on the base frame (2) and with a foot roller frame (4) disposed on the foot end (1a) of the continuous casting mold (1). In order to obtain better protection for the mold region and components disposed downstream thereof, it is proposed that the continuous casting mold (1) together with an oscillation frame (3b) and an oscillating drive (3a) engaging the oscillating frame (3b) be arranged in an upwardly and laterally closed housing (5) and that the foot roller frame (4) fastened on the continuous casting mold (1) extends through a laterally shielding lower housing (6).
