Abstract
An apparatus for the continuous casting of an anode plate into low-rimmed, open molds at the periphery of a rotating wheel, which apparatus comprises a casting ladle fitted adjacent to the molds for pouring molten metal into the molds, a feeding member for filling the casting ladle with molten metal between castings, measuring devices for determining the total weight of the casting ladle before and during casting, and control members for regulating the casting cycle on the basis of the measured total weight of the casting ladle, the casting ladle being fitted to swivel around a substantially vertical shaft between two positions so that the spout of the casting ladle moves with the mold below during the casting cycle and then back to a position above the next mold before the next casting cycle.
