Made for modern casting
The closed, crucible-free Westomat Plus+ holding and dosing furnace for liquid aluminium is a twist on a classic: the proven performance of Westomat packed into a modern, compact furnace made to make life easier, casting environments cleaner, and operating conditions safer. Everything a modern light-metal foundry needs for dynamic, efficient production, and a happy casting team.
The Westomat Plus+ offers all this and more thanks to a clever design which optimizes space and component configuration at every turn. Here are just a few of the advantages on offer:
Smaller bath, better melt
As with all our Westomat furnaces, liquid aluminium is taken from below the bath surface via a flanged riser tube. This allows the liquid metal to be transported to the die-casting machine or mould free of contaminations associated with surface dross and oxidation formation. The smaller bath surface of the Westomat Plus+ means even more high-quality liquid metal is available for casting.
Smarter pneumatics, adaptable to you
Westomat Plus+ features a pneumatic unit that is modularly configured to allow individual components to be easily accessed, maintained, changed and also supplemented, ensuring foundries can easily add new components. In an IIoT era, where the addition of different sensors can be vital to unlocking digitally-driven efficiencies, this adaptability is a distinct advantage.
Safer by design
Simplifying cleaning and maintenance through improved furnace maneuverability and component accessibility, means these processes are also safer for those carrying them out. But that’s not where the safety credentials stop. The subframe can also be fully enclosed, further reducing risk of operator injury and making working conditions much safer for foundry teams.
