A method of pouring a molten metal from an intermediate vessel (3) into a plurality of continuous casting moulds (A, B and C) through respective discharge valves (4) and withdrawing all the castings from the moulds with a common withdrawing unit (12, 13) includes opening all the valves (4) to initiate the pouring process, and monitoring the filling level (20) within each mould in a measuring zone (9). That mould whose filling level first reaches a first threshold level (21) has its associated valve (4) throttled and the withdrawing unit is switched on either when all the filling levels are substantially the same or when the first of the filling levels reaches a second threshold level (22) above the first threshold level, whichever occurs first. Each discharge valve is adjusted when the filling level in the associated mould reaches a desired level (8) above the second threshold level so as to maintain the filling level substantially at the desired level. Any mould in which the filling level has not reached the first threshold level (21) at the time the withdrawing unit is switched on has its associated valve (4) closed. <IMAGE> |
