Abstract
Automated apparatus for the casting of metal such as zinc which includes an indexed carousel for indexing moulds through four stations. The stations are a casting station 290 where metal is cast via a launder 50, a skimming station 291 where an automatic robot controlled skimmer removes dross, a transfer station from which moulds containing molten metal are removed by an overhead crane to be placed in a cooling tank at a location substantially free of vibration and cooled moulds are returned by the crane to the transfer station and a delivery station 293 where the cast ingots 200 are removed from the moulds by another overhead crane and the empty moulds are recycled to the casting station. The ingots are lifted from the moulds at the delivery station by a mechanism which removes pins cast with the ingots and returns them to the empty mould.
