Foseco’s feeding system products are a range of insulating, exothermic-insulating or highly exothermic sleeves designed to extend the solidification times of feeder heads. They may be open or closed and are available in a wide range of design and sizes. They can be supplied with or without breaker cores.
By using Foseco feeding systems, the following benefits can be achieved:
More castings produced per kilo of metal melted
Lower energy costs
Increased maximum casting weight achievable
Reduced sand and binder consumption
Lower cleaning and fettling costs
Reduced melting losses of expensive alloying materials
Reduced CO2 emissions
High exothermic spot feeder sleeves
High-strength, high-pressure, automatic moulding lines place extra demands. These products must be able to withstand highest moulding pressures, be simple to apply and provide consistent feed performance.
KALMIN sleeves are insulating, lightweight riser sleeves used to efficiently feed castings. These sleeves are highly resistant to dilation and provide superior insulating characteristics, with low smoke and fume.
The KALPUR direct pouring process is the combined use of a feeder sleeve and ceramic foam filter. It is suitable for hand-moulded castings, and horizontal and vertical automatic moulding lines. The KALPUR process entirely eliminates the need for a conventional running system.
In addition to feeder sleeves insulating prefabricated feeder lids, refractory insulating padding in preformed components, metal producing anti-piping compound and exothermic insulating anti-piping compounds are available.
