A structure for the continuous casting of metal bars, such as copper and aluminum, from hot molten metal. The structure includes a casting wheel which has a peripheral groove with a circumferential opening therein. A continuous-one-sided planar belt is provided for closing at least a portion of the circumferential opening so as to define a chamber for receiving the molten metal and for forming the continuous metal bar as the molten metal drops below its melting point. It is important that substantially the entire casting belt is in contact with the molten metal and the metal bar during the portion of the time that the belt is in contact with the casting wheel.
