Belt conveyor MCC® AL

horizontalfor the metallurgical industrycooling

Aluminum foundries are called upon to produce cast parts of consistently high quality and reduce scrap rates, to keep a competitive edge. Casting cooling is critical to achieving those goals and the success of the entire production process. Magaldi tailored its field-proven cooling system developed for ferrous foundries to fit the unique requirements of aluminum castings. The MCC® AL conveyor offers great and controlled cooling performance that enables scrap reduction and high-quality parts manufacturing. The MCC® AL conveyor is comprised of: the Superbelt® conveyor as the key component. The belt design is based on a multi-link concept which ensures redundancy, little to no maintenance, and trouble-free continuous operation, thus avoiding costly disruptions. A cooling tunnel held under negative pressure. A stream of ambient air is pulled through the extremities of the cooling tunnel and exits through the central hood. The cooling air flows at a controlled speed over the castings to cool them down to the requested temperature while avoiding thermal shocks and/or other microstructural defects. An optical detector, ensuring the proper functioning of the belt at almost zero speed or batch.
