Abstract
Disclosed is a system for providing a modular mold table for use in conjunction with a vertical non-ferrous metal casting apparatus. A plurality of longitudinal headers with a coolant passageway and transverse headers with a coolant passageway provide the mold table. A centralized water screen is provided to screen undesired inclusions in the coolant. Pre-cast modules which contain the mold cavities and other interconnections for coolant, oil and gas are operatively connected to the longitudinal headers and can be added or removed in building block fashion. Also disclosed is an oil delivery system and a gas delivery system wherein longitudinally oriented oil and gas passageways are included within the longitudinal headers.
