The first chamber means are provided with an overflow inlet communicating with said first chamber on a predetermined intermediate level thereof. Second chamber means define a horizontally elongated second chamber, which is smaller in cross-sectional area than said first chamber and has one end portion communicating with said bottom opening and an opposite end portion formed with an upwardly directed opening adapted to communicate with a bottom-pouring ingot mold. A plug is operable to selectively close and open said bottom opening.
