To provide an apparatus for casting metal by which a cast block having good production efficiency and good quality is obtained.
A pouring hole 7 is opened by the command from a casting control means 19 to an opening/closing plug elevating mechanism 9, and the molten metal 5 is started to be poured into a mold 4, and it is judged that the poured molten metal 5 covers the surface of a cooling plate 2 for the mold based on the temperature of the cooling plate 2 and the change of the temperature gradient, etc. A stop valve 16 is opened by turning on a solenoid valve 17 and cooling water is jetted onto the cooling plate 2 from a spray nozzle 12. After the lapse of a prescribed time from the start of the pouring, the pouring hole 7 is closed under consideration of progressing the solidification near the pouring hole 7. Thereafter, when the cooling completing condition is achieved, the spray of the cooling water is stopped, and when the cast block taking-out condition is achieved, the cooling plate 2 is lowered by operating a cooling plate elevating mechanism 14, and the cast block 5' is taken out, then the cooling plate 2 is elevated and fitted to the lower part of a mold main body 3.
