The invention relates to a method for the weight-accurate filling of ingot molds in a non-iron casting machine, e.g. a copper anode casting machine or a zinc anode casting machine, which is configured in the form of casting wheels that are use for production in a fully mechanized casting operation and are provided with the ingot molds. The aim of the invention is to obtain the desired precise-weight quality of a piece and exact plane parallelism of the bordering surfaces thereof. Said aim is achieved by carrying out the following steps: first, a liquid metal is introduced into an intermediate trough ( 4, 4 ') at a regulated mass flow rate, the continuous dynamic weight increase being simultaneously determined; second, liquid metal is fed into a dosing trough ( 4, 4 ') which is located on each side of the intermediate trough ( 4, 4 ') by alternately tilting the intermediate trough ( 4, 4 ') on one side followed by the other. After filling the first dosing trough ( 5 ), the intermediate trough ( 4 ) is tilted in the direction of the second dosing trough ( 5 ') while the mass of an anode is cast from the first filled dosing trough into one of the ingot molds ( 10, 10 ') that are arranged on the casting wheel ( 9, 9 ') by means of a controlled tilting movement. Also disclosed is a device for carrying out the inventive method. |
