Abstract
A strand caster, in particular for plastic strand casting systems, is provided, which in a known fashion consists of a nozzle plate and a caster. The nozzle plate and the caster include abutment surfaces facing each other, and the nozzle plate is mountable to the caster by corresponding mounting elements. The surface structure of at least one abutment surface of the nozzle plate or respectively the caster is adapted such that, due to the fastened state caused during operation, the one abutment surface accommodates to the opposing other abutment surface under tension so that an uniform surface pressing between the nozzle plate and the caster is achievable.
