Wheel type (14, 17, 18, 19) continuous casting plant is improved by removing the casting band (11) from a section of the casting wheel (10) and spraying fluid into the gap between the band and the wheel. The fluid pressure serves to cool the metal while urging it into contact with the casting groove. This method avoids a shrinkage gap occuring between the wheel and the casting and ensures that the metal is solidified before leaving the mould and thus reducing strand breakage risks.
