German term or phrase: Kokillenkippgießmaschine
Term in a marketing newsletter of a German foundry. Kokillenguss is "gravity die casting" or "ingot casting" - I just don't now how to include the "tilting" action without sounding clumsy. Eurodicautom, Ernst and Cornelsen were of no help.

tilt casting


Explanation:
is the correct translation for "kippgießen", I guess you have to phrase around it, tilt cast machinery for the production of gravity dies (ingot dies), for example.
