Dosing in gravity & sand casting
The Westomat® for gravity and sand casting provides maximum precision, excellent energy efficiency, high melt quality and maximum operating life. Special technical innovations also enable a significant increase in productivity during the manufacturing process.
1. - Sizes for all die-casting machines and casting capacities – 450 to 3100 kg.
2. - Long refill intervals thanks to the high volume capacity
3. - Easy integration in any die casting cell thanks to compact design and compatibility
4. - Easy set-up of a casting program with Teach-In
5. - Variable casting curve with up to five breakpoints per curve
6. - High number of shape saving options
7. - Easy adjustment of the casting weight by entering the data with the touch panel – no additional mechanical retooling necessary.
8. - Freely programmable logic control (PLC)
9. - Continuous dosing cycle even during refilling
10. - High quality melt due to oxide-free metal removal below the level of the bath and constant metal temperature all the way to the metal casting chamber
11. - Considerable increase in productivity of your casting cell thanks to Top-Stop-Position®
12. - Energy-saving through use of high-quality insulating materials
13. - Long service life of the refractory materials – many customers achieve more than 20 years.
14. - Increase in the melt quality by optional use of the proven purge gas technology
