Aluminium Ingot
Casting Machines
Our aluminium ingot casting machines were developed in our own foundry to give trouble-free alloy production
Metal is poured from the furnace, via a launder, into the pouring system. The pouring system has been designed to minimise dross formation. This ensures that the ingots produced are of the highest quality. The adjustable speed control system allows the volume of metal poured into each mould to be accurately controlled. This will give you ingots of consistent weight and dimensions. The filled moulds travel up the casting machine incline, where the ingots cool and solidify.
As the moulds pass over the head sprockets, they insert, allowing the ingots to fall – assisted by two hammers.
We produce a range of standard models for deoxidant cones, half balls, cubes, pyramids and bar. And we have developed a machine for the production of quality aluminium granules without tails.
Higher production units and bespoke casting solutions can be supplied to meet customer needs. So please contact us with your requirements.
