The invention relates to a method for the weight-accurate filling of ingot molds in a non-iron casting machine, e.g. a copper anode casting machine or a zinc anode casting machine, which is configured in the form of casting wheels that are use for production in a fully mechanized casting operation and are provided with the ingot molds. The aim of the invention is to obtain the desired precise-weight quality of a piece and exact plane parallelism of the bordering surfaces thereof. Said aim is achieved by carrying out the following steps: first, a liquid metal is introduced into an intermediate trough (') at a regulated mass flow rate, the continuous dynamic weight increase being simultaneously determined; second, liquid metal is fed into a dosing trough (&#x2032;) which is located on each side of the intermediate trough (&#x2032;) by alternately tilting the intermediate trough (&#x2032;) on one side followed by the other. After filling the first dosing trough (), the intermediate trough () is tilted in the direction of the second dosing trough (&#x2032;) while the mass of an anode is cast from the first filled dosing trough into one of the ingot molds (&#x2032;) that are arranged on the casting wheel (&#x2032;) by means of a controlled tilting movement. Also disclosed is a device for carrying out the inventive method.
