<p>Vacuum die casting machine including an improved siphon tube (26) for transporting molten metal (32) from a reservoir (22) to a shot cylinder (20). The siphon tube (26) defines a passageway (80) having a first end portion (86) which is adapted to communicate with a shot cylinder (20) and a second end portion (82) opposite the first end portion which defines a molten metal (32) entry portion. The passageway tapers from the first end portion (86) to the second end portion (82) which reduces jetting in the shot cylinder (20). An associated method is also disclosed.</p> |
