ABSTRACT:
A filling apparatus includes a melt container with a bottom outlet spout and an interior closure plug. In certain embodiments the spout has a conical end. A casting mold has a pouring gate and channel. The container is supported by an elevating mechanism and either the container or the mold can also be movable horizontally to permit alignment of the spout and gate. A separatory body is between the spout and gate, several embodiments being disclosed including a layer of material formed on the spout and a conical member in a recess at the gate, the conical member being shaped to receive the conical end of the spout during filling. The separating member of the mold includes a receptacle having a volume greater than the volume of the spout bore below the closure plug to accept melt therefrom after filling.
