To propose a device and a method for transferring molten metal using a practicable siphonic phenomenon.
The invented molten metal transferring device is equipped with a suction pipe of which the inlet is submerged in the molten metal held in a molten metal feeder and the other end extends upward, a discharge pipe of which the outlet is submerged in the molten metal held in a molten metal receiver and the other end extends upward, and a U-tube of which the upper portion of one leg is connected with the other end of the suction pipe and the upper portion of the other leg is connected with the other end of the discharge pipe. The top of the joining portion between the other end of the suction pipe and the upper portion of one leg of the U-tube, and the top of the joining portion between the other end of the discharge pipe and the upper portion of the other leg of the U-tube are respectively kept at negative pressures lower than pressures of the molten metals held in the molten metal feeder and held in the molten metal receiver. The molten metal is transferred, by using the siphonic phenomenon, from the molten metal feeder to the molten metal receiver in which the molten metal is held at a liquid level lower than in the molten metal feeder.
