Casting equipment for continuous or semi-continuous water casting of metal (DC casting), in particular casting of roll blocks of aluminium. The casting equipment comprises a casting die (1) which has an open inlet (8) for supplying molten metal and a cavity (9) with an open outlet (16), where means of supply are provided including a continuous gap (3) along the circumference of the casting die for the supply of water for direct cooling of the molten metal in connection with the formation of a cast billet (2), and means (4) for the supply of gas or air to reduce the cooling effect, at least during the start phase of the casting process. Another gap (4) is provided within the water gap (3) and predominantly in parallel with the latter, passing along the circumference of the casting die, for supplying air or gas in such a way that a skirt of air/gas (15) is formed which is designed to deflect the skirt of water (14) and/or form an air cushion between the skirt of water (14) and the cast billet (2).
