Abstract: The subject of the invention is a device for collecting, transferring and pouring molten metal into a pouring channel of a die-casting machine or the like starting from a crucible under controlled atmosphere, covered by a hood. The device comprises a support standard (17) positioned externally on one side of the crucible, a slide (18), which can move vertically along said standard and a control group (22) supported by the slide and made to turn a crankshaft (24), which extends part ways into the crucible through a wall in said hood and which holds a ladle (25) at one of its free ends a ladle (25) which is subjected to transitory-rotary movements to dip into and collect molten metal from the crucible and carry and pour the collected metal into the pouring channel of the die-casting machine in reaction to the vertical movements of said slide and rotation of the crankshaft.
