Distribution Troughs

Overview

Distribution troughs, sometimes called casting troughs, are the molten metal feed reservoir for vertical direct chill (VDC) ingot casting.

Pyrotek offers engineering services and advanced casting capabilities. Pyrotek distribution troughs have great surface quality, great thermal shock resistance, high durability, are erosion resistant and possess nonwetting properties. The distribution troughs are sized to hold a large volume of metal, keeping the erosion on the refractory walls and bottom minimal.
