Abstract
A cast-steel pouring apparatus including a furnace body having a furnace main body that includes a fire-retardant lining material demarcating a retainer chamber for retaining molten steel therein, and a steel-outing trough unit that protrudes from the furnace main-body toward an outside and with a trough length equal to ⅔ or less of an inside diameter of a top-face opening in the retainer chamber; a first pivot shaft having a first axial line oriented along a lateral direction such that the furnace body can pivot on the first pivot shaft in a longitudinal direction; a first pivot driving source for causing the furnace body to pivot about the first axial line of the first pivot shaft which serves as the pivotal center in the longitudinal direction, thereby causing the molten steel to discharge from the steel-outing trough unit of the furnace body, which has pivoted with respect to a sprue of casting mold.
