Abstract
A twin roll caster and method for producing strip cast from a molten metal using the twin roll caster. The twin roll caster has casting rolls which delimit a casting gap between them on its longitudinal sides and narrow sides sealed in each case by a side plate which is moved during the casting operation about an axis of oscillation in an oscillating manner. The inventive method and the twin roll caster enable the risk of operational disruptions from molten mass solidifying in the region of the side plate to be further minimized. This is achieved by changing the position of the axis of oscillation during the casting operation.
