How it works
The ICS / Ingot Casting and Stacking have the ability to cast both pure Aluminium ingot and foundry alloy ingots on a continuous basis. The fully automated ICS can cast up to thirty two tonnes per hour, pushing your production goals to their full extent. Long lasting and durable casting chain and moulds maximize the operational life of the ingot casting system. An electrical automation control system of the ingot casting system controls every step of the entire ingot production process.
Key Features
- CASTFILL POURING WHEEL
The pouring system directs metal into the ingot mould in a streamlined manner with minimal turbulence or splashing.
This ensures oxide levels are kept low, resulting in superior quality product with an attractive surface finish.
- Up to 32 tonnes per hour operation
- Lower oxide levels coupled with a better finish
- Produces uniform ingot weight
- Developed using state-of-the-art computer simulation techniques
- Many production installations
- INGOT CASTING & STACKING MOULD
The CASTmould has been developed by Promech Engineering and a team of research professionals to improve production rate, achieve longer service life and improve safety and performance by focusing on the following objectives:
- Improved solidification rate
- Minimization of localised boiling of cooling water
- Better release of ingot from mould
- Less shrinkage and formation of cavities on the ingot surface
After the process, the machine’s stacking unit will allow for the aluminium ingots to automatically packaged and strapp into compact stacks that suites for safe and easy transportation. The modern robotic automatic ingot stacking system and stack compactor form the integrated and compact ingot stacks
- A variety of layout configurations are available to suit your plant requirements for stack storage systems and transport methods
- The automatic ingot stack strapping system coordinates high production rates and provides reliable and safe stack strapping processes
- The modular design offer easy equipment accessibility and maintenance
