In a continuous casting machine, the combination comprises a mould structure, a tundish car, a tundish, and a shroud for molten metal. An arrangement is provided for mounting the tundish shroud on the tundish car and for mounting the shroud adjacent the casting machine. The arrangement for mounting the shroud includes an elevating arrangement for raising the shroud into sealing engagement with a ladle when the latter is supported generally above the mould structure and for lowering the shroud to afford sufficient clearance for removal of the ladle.
