Continuous Rod Casting
In continuous rod casting, molten metal is formed into wire or rod using different methods. Most of the aluminium and copper wires in the world today are produced using Properzi casters. Fewer interruptions in casting allows the process to stay at a steady state, producing more average tonnes per hour and maximizing efficiency.
Pyrotek's global network of manufacturing centres and technical experts work with continuous aluminium casters to determine the products that will best suit their needs. Solutions include troughs, ceramic foam filters (CFF) and durable Properzi casting spouts made of reinforced fibreglass material (RFM®), which is non-wetting to molten aluminium and reduces inclusions.
- Increased metal quality
- Fewer bar breaks and inclusions
- Improved start-up
- Reduced downtime
- Longer product life and lower consumable costs
