The invention relates to a casting machine valve (32, 42; 50; 60; 70; 80; 90; 100; 110; 120; 130), a pressure generating means (3, 4, 5, 6, 32, 42) for installation in a casting machine (1), and a casting machine (1) for casting a flowable mass, particularly a liquid mass having suspended solid particles, such as chocolate, wherein cocoa particles and sugar particles are typically suspended in a melted fat mass containing cocoa butter and more or less milk fat. The valve (50; 60; 70; 80; 90; 100; 110; 120) comprises a valve body (51; 61; 71; 81; 91; 101; 111; 121; 131) having a valve opening and at least one valve cap (53; 64; 76; 83; 94; 105; 115; 128; 133) that is associated with the valve opening, is hinged on the valve body, and closes the valve opening in the unpressurized state without preloading.
