1. A casting system for pouring nonferrous metal melt, comprising: a tundish; at least one submerged pipe communicating with said tundish and extending at an incline with a pre-defined pouring angle towards and into a mold; said submerged pipe having a first section and a second section defining a tip nozzle for submersion into a molten bath in said mold, whereby said tip nozzle is sealed off at a free end thereof, said second section having a wall facing a bottom side of said mold formed with at least one discharge opening and configured to effect a first change in a flow direction of a molten mass through said submerged pipe; and a lip disposed at said tip nozzle, overlapping said discharge opening at a pre-defined distance, and causing the molten mass to experience a second change in the flow direction and distribution transversely to a longitudinal axis of the mold, and said discharge opening together with said lip being located below a mold bath surface in an operating state thereof.
