Abstract
An enclosure having a sealing device, for a casting installation, having a first body and a second body that is removably joined to the first body along a bearing axis, the first and second bodies together delimiting an internal chamber. The sealing device comprises: at least one compression member, at least one seal having a lateral contact face extending substantially parallel to the bearing axis; the compression member and the seal being arranged with respect to one another such that the compression member is in contact with the lateral contact face of the seal and exerts a compression force thereon that is oriented orthogonally to the bearing axis.

A casting installation enclosure comprising:
- a first body, and a second body that is removably joined to the first body along a bearing axis, the first and second bodies delimiting together an internal chamber, and
- a sealing device comprising:
- a compression member, tightly joined to the first body;
- a seal, tightly joined to the second body, having a lateral contact face extending substantially parallel to the bearing axis;
- the compression member and the seal being arranged with respect to one another such that the compression member is in contact with the lateral contact face of the seal and exerts a compression force thereon that is oriented substantially orthogonally to the bearing axis, thereby ensuring the tightness of the enclosure between the first and second bodies.
