SUBSTANCE: aggregate includes press with die assembly and punch assembly, vessel 6 for melt metal, pouring and metering device 7 with batching ladle 8 and mechanism 9 for moving and rotating ladle. Mechanism 9 includes body 10 rotating around vertical axis and having cavity 16 with vertically moved strut 18 whose axis coincides with vertical axis of body 10. Strut 18 is rigidly connected with flange 20. In cavity of flange lever 22 is mounted with possibility of rotation relative to horizontal axis. Lever is in the form of elbow 31 embracing vertical wall 32 of vessel 6 when strut 18 is in its lower position and arm 33 rigidly connected with ladle 8. Vessel 6 is mounted in such a way that arm 33 with ladle 8 may be arranged inside it when strut 18 is in its lower position. Pouring and metering device provides omnidirectional access to working space of press. EFFECT: improved design of press units, simplified service. 2 cl, 9 dwg
