Patent ID: 6880615

Claim:
A centrifugal casting apparatus for implementing a method of rotating a plurality of mold cavities formed by at least one hollow mold, about a common axis of rotation and providing at least three mold cavities as the plurality of mold cavities which rotate about an axis and are intersected by at least one common plane, the apparatus comprising: a dead hollow mold; and a holding device to attach the hollow mold containing at least three mold cavities, wherein the hollow mold can be arranged in the holding device so that the mold cavities rotate about an axis when the centrifugal casting apparatus driven and are intersected by a plane, wherein each of said mold cavities includes at least one runner with a discharge gate running from a rotationally symmetrical runner bush having a central axis extending substantially along the said axis of rotation, and each of said mold cavities is intersected by the common plane in the region of said sprue runners in the region of said discharge gate, and the liquid casting material can be poured into said runner bush so that said mold cavities can be filled with casting material by said sprue runners.
