To provide a device for smelting metal ingot capable of melting metal ingot, in which surface defects are suppressed, and excellent in linearity while maintaining high productivity, and also to provide a method for smelting the metal ingot using the same.

A hearth type electronic beam melting furnace includes: a vacuum chamber; a means for feeding a metal material; an electronic beam irradiation means for melting the metal material; a melting hearth for holding a melt; a mold into which the melt is poured; and a means for pulling out the ingot formed in the mold. The device for smelting the metal ingot has a plurality of hearth-lips being a discharge port from the melting hearth to the mold. In the method for smelting the metal ingot using the device for smelting the metal ingot, the melt held in the melting hearth is poured into the mold through the plurality of the hearth-lips.
