PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide equipment for efficiently manufacturing horizontally continuously cast aluminum alloy rods over a long period. SOLUTION: The equipment comprises: a melting/holding furnace (melting stage) 101 where a raw material for an aluminum alloy is melted to produce a molten aluminum alloy; a molten metal treatment apparatus (molten metal treatment stage) 201 to remove aluminum oxide and hydrogen gas from the molten aluminum alloy from the melting/holding furnace 101; a horizontally continuously casting apparatus (horizontally continuously casting stage) 301 to cast the treated molten aluminum alloy from the molten metal treatment apparatus 201 into horizontally continuously cast aluminum alloy rods; and a cutting mechanism (cutting stage) 401 to cut to a standard length the cast rods cast by the horizontally continuously casting apparatus 301, and these are continuously performed.
