Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2004011176A1] A method and apparatus for producing a cast product. The apparatus includes a mould (10) having a mould cavity (12) and a runner (14) which communicates with the mould cavity (12). The mould (10) is connected to a feed pipe (11) for feeding molten material to the mould cavity (12) through the runner (14). The mould (10) includes a valve (20) for closing the runner (14) to material flow upon receipt within the mould cavity (12) of sufficient molten material. The method includes closing the runner (14) by the valve (20) upon receipt of sufficient molten material within the cavity (12) and thereafter disconnecting the feed pipe (11) from the mould (10) and inverting mould (10). The method further includes relatively displacing the mould (10) and the feed pipe (11) for connection of the feed pipe (11) to a further mould and allowing the molten material to solidify within the mould cavity (12) prior to removal therefrom.
