The casting apparatus includes a mold, an ejecting device, a spraying device, and a control unit, and the processor of the control unit is configured to eject the die-cast product from the movable mold in a substantially horizontal direction by the ejecting device, hold the die-cast product in the movable mold, and spray coolant to the die-cast product by the spraying device to cool the die-cast product.

A cam mechanism allows a slide ejector plate and slide ejector pins to move relative to a slide core as the slide core moves. Alternatively, the cam mechanism allows the slide ejector plate and the slide ejector pins to move with the slide core. This eliminates the need for a dedicated hydraulic cylinder for moving the slide ejector plate and the slide ejector pins. The number of parts of the die casting device can thus be reduced.
