Abstract
A device and method for producing metal slugs, in which: a movable support has a plurality of cavities separated by partition walls, such that the cavities travel over a path, a feeding means is positioned above a location on said path and is capable of forming a stream of molten metal, flowing under the effect of gravity, such that, during the continuous movement of the movable support, the continuous stream of molten metal from the feeding means is divided or fragmented into slugs formed successively in said cavities, under the effect of said partition walls.
