Castool’s Systems Approach – No single component of the extrusion production process should be examined or evaluated individually. Only if the entire process is considered as an integrated system, with all parts working together in common cause, can maximum efficiency be approached.
The Alu-ject Controller mixes and measures the precise amount of lubricant needed by the Sprayer
+ Overview
During the extrusion stroke, as the ram and the dummy block press the billet through the container, the oxides and other impurities from the skin of the billet are accumulated in the dead metal zone. The dead metal zone, which is full of impurities, must be sheared off before the next billet is loaded.
+ Overview
The Alu-ject Sprayer automates the process of coating the billet end with a controlled amount of lubricant
+ Overview
After each change of alloy, and also after every shift, a clean-out block should be used to remove the build-up of oxide skin from the liner of the container
+ Overview
The innovative technology of Castool’s double and triple cell ovens reduce energy costs, time and floor space. Each individual die oven has an opening mechanism and a controller
+ Overview
The most important factor in the effective operation of any dummy block is its’ efficient interaction with a round, straight, thermally, and therefore dimensionally, stable container
+ Overview
Inputting the die size and target temperature will select the most appropriate program to heat that particular die. It will use the necessary heat head and soak time to heat the die most efficiently, and with the accuracy required.
+ Overview
The Quick Response (QR) Container consumes less energy, has a tougher mantle, better liner temperature control and better heat dissipation.
+ Overview
Alu-ject lubricant is available as a liquid, tablet or solid soap bar
+ Overview
An improperly designed, manufactured or used stem can result in stem breakage. A stem break can be catastrophic, resulting in damage to the press, lost production time and possible injury.
