Abstract:
Disclosed is a transfer pump having a pump base with a pump chamber, tangential discharge and an outlet in the top surface of the pump base. A riser tube extends from the outlet and terminates at a launder in order to move molten metal out of a vessel with relatively little turbulence.

Claim (Index 1):
A pump configured to be positioned in a vessel that contains molten metal, the pump comprising:\n (a) a pump base having a pump chamber, a top surface, and a tangential discharge leading to an output port; (b) a riser tube having a passage therethrough, a proximal end having an opening in communication with the passage, the proximal end physically attached to the output port, a distal end opposite the proximal end, wherein the distal end has an opening in communication with the passage, the distal end being open; (c) a superstructure above the pump output port, the riser tube being supported by the superstructure; and (d) a launder configured to extend from the vessel to a second vessel, the launder having an open top, and a bottom surface, wherein the distal end of the riser tube is physically connected to the bottom surface of the launder, and the opening in the distal end terminates at or above the bottom surface of the launder and below the open top of the launder, and wherein molten metal can be pumped upward through the riser tube and into the launder.
