A pouring machine is provided to constantly maintain the level of the surface of melt without a leak, or the like, to maintain a necessary and sufficient pouring rate. The pouring machine (1) that pours molten metal from a container into molds in a line comprises a bogie (10) that travels along the molds; a mechanism (20) for moving the container back and forth that moves the container perpendicularly to the direction that the bogie travels; a mechanism (40) for tilting the container that tilts the container; a weight detector (50) that detects the weight of molten metal in the container; a surface-of-melt detector (60) that detects the level at a pouring cup (110) of a mold (100); and a controller (70) that controls the angle of the tilt of the container by using the detected level and the detected weight.

A casting mold is pivoted about a horizontal pivot axis for casting cast parts in a casting machine. The casting mold has a lid and a reference side wall. A main plane is placed into the reference side wall. A tundish is coupled to the casting mold and the casting mold is then pivoted into a pouring-in position. The tundish filled with a molten metal portion is pivoted with the casting mold about the pivot axis, so that the molten metal flows into the casting mold. An angle 1 enclosed between the main plane of the reference side wall and a bath level of the molten metal portion in the tundish is constantly <180 until the melt hits the bottom of the casting mold.
