Abstract: The invention relates to a fastening system for tiltable metallurgical processing vessels, in particular converters, the processing vessel (1) being mounted in a carrier ring (2) connected to the jacket of the processing vessel by means of plate fin elements (11), each plate fin element consisting of a plate fin connected to the carrier ring (2) by means of a sheet metal connector (16) and a first fastening bracket (14) and connected to the jacket of the processing vessel by means of a further sheet metal connector (17) and a second fastening bracket (15). According to the invention, the sheet metal connector (16, 17) is clamped by a wedge (20) between the flanges (18, 18a and 19, 19a, respectively) of the fastening bracket (14 and 15, respectively) with zero clearance, said bracket in turn abutting a tab (22) welded to the flanges of the fastening bracket and bridging same. The wedge (20) is actively connected to the tab (22) by means of a bolted connection (21).
