Automatic Pouring

Heated Pressure Pouring Systems - Capacities from 1.8 to 25 MT

Heated Pressure Pouring Systems are typically used for high production shops where minimal alloy changes are made. They are suitable for gray, malleable and ductile iron and copper-based nonferrous metals. Advantages include:

Vessel design that delivers clean metal drawn from the bottom of the bath

Inert furnace atmospheres that enhance the "clean metal" capabilities

Metal storage provides uninterrupted pouring during lags in metal delivery

Continuous temperature control fine tunes the pouring process

Hydraulic tilting of the furnace simplifies maintenance and alloy changes

Lining is designed to minimize thermal losses and slag adhesion

Fine furnace pressure control enables multiple selections in pouring control

Stopper-rod pouring control or pressure pouring control systems available

X-Y axis motion is available for pouring different sprue/pouring basin locations

Unheated Tundish Pouring System – Capacities from 1 to 3 MT

Unheated Tundish Pouring Systems are designed for foundries with a semi- continuous supply of metal and where alloy flexibility is a must. They are suitable for gray, malleable and ductile iron. Advantages include:

Bottom pour stopper rod pouring to deliver clean metal from under the slag

Efficiency of refractory lining system design to reduce metal temperature loss

Pneumatic charging cover that simplifies metal delivery and slagging practices while reducing temperature drop

Hydraulic tilting to facilitate alloy changes and lining maintenance

X-Y axis motion is available for pouring different sprue/ pouring basin locations

Available with a variety of stopper-rod pouring control arrangements
