Abstract

A ladle is rotationally tilted around its rotation shaft and the rotation center of the rotation shaft is moved along a locus deviating from the predetermined arc locus with its center at an imaginary initial pouring center which is set at or adjacent to a molten metal falling start point in the pouring spout of the ladle and, at the same time, the imaginary initial pouring center of the spout is moved while maintaining a fixed relationship with the rotation center of the rotation shaft, whereby the molten metal is poured to a fixed position in the pouring cup of the mold.
