Abstract (en)

System (2) for tapping a high-temperature molten material, especially a molten metal, from a bath (8) and pouring it into a mould, comprising a mobile container (6) capable of moving with respect to an element (26) in such a way as, on the one hand, said container (6) may be plunged into the bath (8) to take some liquid and, on the other hand, lift the container (6) above a particular level for forcing the liquid to fall down with gravity through an aperture (10) along the wall. The system (2) does not imply high costs and allows to pour accurate volumes of molten material. <IMAGE>
