Provided is a system for casting molten metals. The system includes a mould comprising a casting cavity having an inlet, and a bore between an upper surface of the mould and the inlet. The system further includes a shroud comprising a funnel and a hollow shaft, wherein the funnel is located outside of the mould, adjacent the upper surface, and the hollow shaft is received within the bore and is moveable therein. A lifting mechanism is located on the upper surface of the mould, the lifting mechanism being operable to lift the funnel of the shroud away from the upper surface for bringing the shroud into engagement with a ladle nozzle. Also provided is a method for casting molten metals using the system.

Casting system

Fluid distribution device

A mold for casting metal which allows solid impurities to be removed from the molten metal. The mold () has a cavity therein, said cavity having a casting portion and contiguous therewith a running system upstream of the casting portion, said running system comprising an upstream inlet portion (), a downstream outlet portion () and a swirl chamber () disposed between the inlet and outlet portions (), wherein a filter () is provided at an interface between the swirl chamber () and the outlet portion (). The application also relates to a method for preparing the mold, a pattern for preparing the mold, a housing for use in the mold and a method for casting employing the mold.
