Abstract

A casting wheel (110) for use in filling ingot moulds in an ingot casting line, including an annular member arranged to be mounted for rotation, and a plurality of spouts (116) arranged around the periphery of the annular member (114), each spout (116) having two side walls (130) and a base (128), each side wall (130) having an open edge (135) for contacting molten metal from a molten metal source, the initial section (137) of the side wall extending from the open edge (135) being shaped to be substantially parallel to the initial section of the side wall extending from the open edge of an adjacent spout.
