Device for supplying casting installations with molten metal

摘要

The invention relates to a device for supplying casting installations with molten metal. Said device comprises a crucible into the melt of which a dosing pump dips and supplies a discharge tube ( 12 ) communicating therewith with melt. The discharge tube ( 12 ) and the pump tube ( 11 ) are interlinked via a U-shaped connecting tube ( 15 ) to give a one-piece crucible insert. The discharge neck ( 13 ) of the discharge tube ( 12 ) is mounted so as to be swivelable about the axis ( 30 ) of the discharge tube. The inventive design allows for a simple maintenance and production of the dosing device. Moreover, the crucible position no longer has to be adapted to the position of the casting installation.
