Handling of sand foundry moulds 2 with a view to filling them with metal alloys directly via a melting furnace 12. Each mould 2 is transferred from a loading/unloading station A on a mould conveyor 1, advancing step by step, towards a casting station B located above the tapping spout 17 of the furnace 12, at a distance from the station A, with the aid of the transfer apparatus 3 with arm 6 which rotates by 180 DEG between the stations A and B. Application to the low-pressure casting of metal alloys which are highly oxidisable at elevated temperature, with protection and accessibility of the casting conduit of the furnace 12, and advance of the conveyor 1 during a casting phase. <IMAGE>
