CONT

A vacuum-feed system depends on pressure difference to force the metal from the holding furnace to the shot chamber [in die casting]. (...) a vacuum pump evacuates the air from the shot chamber and the heated tube (usually by way of the casting cavity and through a filter or trap). The metal from the holding pot then flows through the heated tube and into the shot chamber, to fill the vacuum.
