An assembly for a metal-making process, comprising:

• a tundish,
• a submerged entry nozzle (SEN) configured to provide tapping of molten metal from the tundish, and
• an electromagnetic stirrer arranged around the SEN, the electromagnetic stirrer having a closed and integral SEN-enclosing portion provided with coils for generating a rotating electromagnetic field in the SEN, the SEN-enclosing portion providing a circumferentially closed and integral annular passage through which the SEN extends, wherein the SEN-enclosing portion is non-openable,
• wherein the electromagnetic stirrer is mounted to a fixed structure which is fixed directly or indirectly relative to the SEN such that the electromagnetic stirrer is immovable relative to the tundish and SEN.
