Claim Text:
1. Pouring equipment comprising: a holding furnace that stores and holds molten metal and that supplies it by being tilted; a pouring ladle that stores the molten metal that is supplied from the holding furnace, and that pours the molten metal, by being tilted, into molds that are intermittently transported; a device for measuring weight, which device measures the weight of the molten metal in the pouring ladle; and equipment for control that controls the tilting movements of the holding furnace and the pouring ladle, wherein the equipment for control comprises; a device for storing results from measurements, the measurements made by the device for measuring weight; a device for calculating the first flow rate, which device calculates the flow of the molten metal that is supplied from the holding furnace to the pouring ladle based on the results of the measurements obtained when the molten metal is not poured by the pouring ladle, and which results are stored in the device for storing results from measurements; a device for calculating the second flow rate, which device calculates the flow of the molten metal that is supplied from the pouring ladle to the mold based on the results of the measurements obtained when the molten metal is poured by the pouring ladle, and which results are stored in the device for storing results from measurements; and a device for storing a flow-pattern, which is a pattern that shows the relationship of the time that the molten metal that is poured from the ladle takes to flow into the mold, which device stores the information on the flow-pattern corresponding to each mold that is transported intermittently, wherein the equipment for control controls the tilting of the pouring ladle so as to have the pouring ladle pour the molten metal into the mold according to the flow pattern specific to each product, based on the information on the flow of the molten metal that is poured into the mold, which information is calculated by and obtained from the device for calculating the second flow rate, and based on the information on the flow pattern corresponding to each mold that is transported intermittently, which information is stored in the a device for storing the flow-pattern.
