Question:

Skimless aluminum pouring wheel?

wheel for pouring molten aluminum in an ingot shape

Answer:

In continuous aluminum casting, a ring mold is fitted into the edge of a rotating casting wheel. Molten aluminum is then poured into the mold and cools as the mold assembly rotates without being skimmed. After the wheel has rotated about 160 degrees, the pliable aluminum bar is released.
