Metal Dosing
Dosing furnaces use a spout to deliver molten metal to the casting station. Dosing systems can provide higher energy efficiency, improved metal quality, better temperature control and reduced melt loss. Key concerns include consumable costs and turbulence when filling the shot sleeve.
Pyrotek focuses on increasing metal quality and furnace efficiency to improve performance for die casters. Solutions for a dosing-fed furnace include radiant heaters, refractory lining, insulation, thermocouples, fill funnels, filters, dosing tubes, dosing launders and gaskets and seals.
- Lower consumable costs
- Reduced downtime
- Less scrap from cast freezes
- Increased output
