Abstract: Distributor for use in a method of casting molten metal into a metal ingot, comprising a bottom and a wall of a generally rectangular shape, the wall including a first and a second longitudinal wall portion and a first and a second cross wall portion. The bottom has an entry area at which in use the hot metal is fed into the distributor and at least one bottom aperture. The first and second cross wall portion have a first front aperture and a second front aperture respectively. The distributor further has a first and a second deflector plate. The first deflector plate extends between the bottom aperture and the first longitudinal wall portion and the second deflector plate extends between the bottom aperture and the second longitudinal wall portion. The bottom and the wall are made of a rigid material.
