A casting device includes: a split mold for forming a cavity, including a lower mold, a middle mold that slides in a horizontal direction on the lower mold and an upper mold; a split case for forming a chamber, including a lower case to which the lower mold is attached and an upper case to which the upper mold is attached; a chamber suction device that reduces a pressure at least in the chamber through a chamber pipe that is connected to the chamber and extends to an outside of the chamber; and a cavity suction device that reduces a pressure in the cavity through a cavity pipe that is connected to the cavity and extends to the outside of the chamber. The cavity and the chamber are formed when the middle mold is closed on the lower mold and the split case is closed.

Casting device and casting method

A sprue for a low-pressure casting device includes a stalk connection part to be connected to a stalk, a molten metal reservoir and a cavity connection part to be connected to the cavity. The shape of the molten metal reservoir is such that the perimeter of the cross section perpendicular to the flow direction of molten metal gradually increases toward the cavity connection part while the area of the cross section remains constant.

A core discharge device is provided for discharging a sand core from a cast material in which the sand core contains a binder having water glass. The core discharge device includes a humidified gas supply device that supplies humidified gas to the sand core inside the cast molded article. The humidified gas is a gas to which humidity has been added and from which droplets have been removed.
