Direct Pouring-An aid to efficiency

摘要

The use of DIRECT POURING therefore offers the foundry: Simple running system design. Excellent yield. Limited temperature loss. Good directional solidification. Smaller moulds. Reduced sawing and cleaning. Faster processing of castings. Filtered quality Aluminium at reduced cost. Resulting in: Ease of methoding design. Improved metal utilization. Shrinkage free castings. Reduced binder spend. Lower finishing costs. Better casting quality with fewer rejects and less repairs. DIRECT POURING can be carried out in sand casting through an insulating KALPUR unit or in gravity die through a SIVEX filter printed into the die. The KALMIN 1000 route also offers a more dimensionally accurate product which further reduces the flow rate through the pouring device. Foundries are continuously searching for methods of improving casting consistency while controlling their production costs. DIRECT POURING is one proven method of achieving this aim.
