Abstract

The installation according to the invention comprises at least one mould, a vessel intended to receive the liquid metal and means for directly determining the evolution of the level of molten metal in the impression of the mould. These determination means comprise means for detecting the presence of this liquid metal in the impression, particularly of electromagnetic nature, which are adapted to penetrate at least partially in the interior volume of this impression.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an installation for filling a mould with liquid metal, as well as to a process allowing this installation to be employed. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] In the technical domain of foundrywork, it is known to employ a succession of moulds, also called boxless moulds, which are made of sand. Each mould conventionally comprises a casting bowl intended to receive the molten metal, as well as at least one impression connected to this bowl via a feed channel. In service, it is question of displacing each mould in the direction of a casting machine adapted to pour molten metal.

[0003] This casting operation is subjected to several requirements.

[0004] Firstly, it is important to flood the casting bowl rapidly and to maintain it in the full state while the metal is propagating in the direction of the impressions. In effect, this ensures high-quality casting, bereft of voids, defects and trapped gas.

[0005] It is also necessa...
