Westomat has virtually become synonymous with “dosing furnaces”.
This is because it is considerably more economical in terms of metal loss and energy consumption compared with automatic ladle systems using a holding furnace. Westomat always provides clean metal with no temperature loss.
High quality melt, accurately delivered – every time
Westomat is a crucible-free, closed holding and dosing system for liquid aluminum. It provides precise dosing of clean metal to the die casting machine or mould, with no temperature loss or risk of oxidation from air exposure. As a result, Westomat furnaces consume up to two thirds less energy than ladle-based systems for melt transfer and delivery. They are also incredibly reliable, with a proven uptime up to 98%.
No wonder over 5,000 Westomat dosing furnaces are in operation globally.
Westomat dosing furnaces: clean, precise, and energy-efficient aluminium transfer
Westomat systems deliver high-quality liquid metal with minimal loss and extreme dosing accuracy—up to ±1.5%. With up to 80% less metal loss than ladle systems and 98% uptime, they’re the smart choice for modern foundries.
