The movement of the sealing-device is effected by a cable 8 passing over suitably-arranged pulleys, and guiding-means 7 are provided. The tank 2 may be formed with a cooling-jacket 6. The furnace closure r and its operating-mechanism are enclosed within a chamber between the furnace and the tank, and are constructed as described in Specification 102,242.
