Casting Method and Casting Installation for Aluminium or Aluminium Alloys

The invention relates to a casting method for aluminium or aluminium alloys, in which molten aluminium is treated and fed to at least one casting station ( 33, 34 ), in which the molten metal is cast into semi-finished products or similar. A number of casting ladles ( 25 ) are used to treat and feed the molten aluminium to the respective casting station ( 33, 34 ). The ladles are filled with the molten metal and the latter is then transported to at least one additional stage ( 32 ), where it is treated. The molten metal is subsequently delivered in the ladles ( 25 ) to the casting station ( 33, 34 ), where the ladles ( 25 ) are emptied. The invention thus provides an efficient method that can be flexibly adapted to the time periods of the process, said periods altering according to the situation.
