Abstract
Molten metal fed to a rotating casting wheel is controlled by a vertical pouring spout feeding a tundish below it, a trough from the tundish to the wheel, a sensor to detect the level of metal in the trough, a pin controlled by the sensor to adjust flow through the spout, and a foraminous receptacle in the tundish to receive the flow from the spout and passivate the outflow on its way to the sensor.
