A method and apparatus for alternating pouring into molds, casts or refining hearths (20) from a common hearth in a furnace (24). The apparatus provides a main hearth (56), a plurality of optional refining hearths, and a plurality of casting molds (58) or direct molds whereby the refining hearths (56) and molds (58) define at least two separate ingot making lines. The main hearth (56) alternatively pours into a first ingot making line while the other line is prepared, and vice versa allowing for continuous melting. |
