Abstract
To transfer the molten metal that is melted in the melting furnace into the pouring ladle, which is a vessel for transporting the molten metal to the place for pouring, and to further lift the pouring ladle by another crane to pour the molten metal, requires time, such that the molten metal that had a high temperature when melted by the melting furnace is likely to cool down and to cause a defective cast product. To solve the problem the pouring equipment of the present invention pours the molten metal into the mold, comprising the melting furnace that produces molten metal by melting metal material and a driving apparatus that can move the melting furnace backward and forward or in a traverse direction, wherein the pouring equipment moves the melting furnace to the predetermined position by the driving apparatus, and then pours the molten metal into a mold by tilting the melting furnace relative to the mold.
