Abstract
Moving molds are disposed in one array around the periphery of a casting wheel. A series of consecutive moving molds are closed during a predetermined angle range of the periphery of the casting wheel to define a continuous mold cavity between the closed moving molds and the casting wheel. A molten metal is poured into the thus defined continuous molding cavity at an upstream end thereof and is solidified while the casting wheel is rotated in unison with the moving molds. Then, moving molds are opened just before they arrive a cast outlet, and the cast is taken out.
