Our Optimized Solutions
for Sand and Gravity Casting

Besides the classical die-cast parts and cast structural components, parts still continue to be manufactured using gravity die-casting. Complex molds, small series and the manufacture of individual parts as well as the associated changing casting weights are only a few of the demands made on the casting process. StrikoWestofen offers products and solutions that were specially developed for sand and gravity casting and meeting these demands.

Melting

Demand

  • High metal quality
  • Low energy consumption
  • Low metal loss

Solution

The StrikoMelter series is the optimum melting solution for sand and gravity casting. As the leading solution in the sector, The StrikoMelter offers an extremely high metal quality and constant availability. It also allows extremely low unit costs as a result of its low energy consumption (for example PurEfficiency: 489 kWh/t) and its high degree of metal yield (up to 99.75%).

Products

Transport

Demand

  • High safety standards
  • Constant quality of the melt during metal transfer

Solution

Schnorkle is a closed system for transporting liquid aluminium from the melting furnace to the dosing furnace. The closed system increases safety during the internal transport of liquid metal to the die-casting system and contributes to a constant metal quality throughout the casting process.

Products

  • Schnorkle - the closed transport system for internal metal transfer

Dosing

Demand

  • Dosing accuracy
  • Metal quality
  • Cost efficiency

Solution

The Westomat is a closed system which removes the pure melt underneath the surface of the bath at a constant temperature, thus preventing oxides from forming in it. The special development of the VPC Dynamics furnace control allows various casting ramps to be set and up to 10,000 moulds and casting weights to be stored. It is also the most cost-efficient solution for dosing aluminium.
