ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an apparatus for gravity feed casting with a large number of ingot molds of metal billets of multiple diameters, and including one or more rows of ingot molds. According to the invention, each ingot mold rests freely on a cooling cell and includes a feeder head which is fixed to a removable base plate which serves as a support for liquid metal feed ducts and removable housings. The base plate includes a plurality of openings communicating between a feed duct and at least one feeder head. A housing is provided on the base plate for each opening, with each housing including one aperture for each feeder head with which the opening corresponding to the housing communicates. The use of this apparatus makes it possible to change one or more ingot molds while reducing the risk of explosion.
