Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03066254A1] An apparatus for manufacturing items made of aluminum, aluminum alloys, light alloys and the like, which comprises, on a platen 1, a lower die 2 and at least one upper die 3, a duct 10 for introducing liquid metal connected to a furnace, the liquid metal input duct 10 arriving from below and leading into the lower die 2 and the lower die 2 forming at least one lower impression 20, which has at least one concave portion 23 for introducing a dosed quantity of liquid metal, a male plug 8 associated with the upper die 3 and forming at least one upper impression 25 coupleable to the lower impression 20 to determine the shape of the item being cast. The upper die 3 is closed onto the lower die 2 and the male plug 8 closes the shape and acts as a flow control element for the port 24 that provides a connection to the liquid metal input duct 10.
