CONTINUOUS STEEL SUPPLY FOR CASTING

摘要

A reservoir for molten metal is provided whereby the continuous filling of molds with such molten metal is allowed. Ladles of molten metal are utilized to provide such molten metal into one side of the reservoir. When such ladle is emptied and removed from pouring contact with the open side of the reservoir, the reservoir itself holds enough molten metal to allow molds to be continuously placed into a pouring station to receive molten metal from the closed side of the reservoir. A new ladle filled with molten metal can be brought into position to begin filling the open side of the reservoir with molten metal without interruption to the filing of molds at the closed side of the reservoir. A refractory baffle is utilized to separate the reservoir into an open side and a closed side. The reservoir is especially designed for bottom pressure filling of such molds with molten metal.
