    Abstract: A system for casting a length of a pole of a tubular shape with molten metal. The system comprises a crucible for containing the molten metal; a pouring spout fluidly connected to the crucible; and a plunger for plunging in the crucible to increase level of the molten metal in the crucible and thereby forcing a flow of the molten metal from the crucible to the pouring spout. The system further comprises a casting ring for receiving the molten metal poured out of the pouring spout; a motor for rotating the casting ring; a cooling assembly for cooling the molten metal; and a pulling assembly for pulling the pole out of and away from the casting ring as the molten metal solidifies.
