Apparatus for metal casting

A molten metal casting apparatus comprising support means, a lower continuous closed track mounted on said support means, an upper track portion aligned with said lower track and mounted on said support means above said lower track, a plurality of mold assemblies each mold assembly includes a cope, a drag matingly supporting said cope, said drag being supported on said lower track by a plurality of said support arms and said cope having a plurality of said support arm for cooperating with said upper track portion for removal of said cope for said drag, a cavity formed between said drag and said cope, an aperture in said cope extending between said cavity and the outer surface thereof, a destructible mold liner positioned and supported within said cavity having an outer surface matingly engaging and being supported by said cavity, said mold liner including a pouring basin extending through said aperture for receiving and conducting molten metal into said mold liner, and an inner cavity in said mold liner in communication with said pouring basin for receiving the molten metal and confining the molten metal until it solidifies, a plurality of support arms extending from each of said mold assemblies for mounting said mold assemblies on said tracks and cooperating therewith for movement there along, a plurality of stations along said tracks, means for moving said mold assemblies along said tracks to said stations, said stations including a loading station for placing a mold liner within each of said mold assemblies, a pouring station adjacent said assembly station for pouring molten metal within the mold liner, a cooling station adjacent said pouring station for holding the mold assemblies while the molten metal solidifies, an unloading station adjacent said cooling station for removing the mold liner with solidified casting from said mold assemblies, and a cleaning station positioned between said unloading station and said loading station for cleaning said mold assemblies.
