What is Continuous Casting? Continuous Casting is a method of converting scrap, virgin or liquid metal into a useable form. This form can be wire, flat stock, or tube. All Ewen Technology casting furnaces perform the entire process: charging metal, melting metal, and alloying metal takes place. The section to be cast is determined by the casting die being used. The cast material is extracted from the furnace by means of a withdrawal unit. These units control the pulse and speed of the casting. All of Ewen Technology’s furnaces can be stopped at any time during the process and liquid metal can be allowed to freeze without fear of damage to the internal graphite components.
The advantages of Continuous Casting. Continuous Casting saves time and money. For customers that produce many different end products, these machines allow you to cast only what is required to fill an order. Any scrap produced from stamping’s, rolling, or other processes can be immediately put back into the casting furnace. There is no need to carry a large inventory of metal, as these machines produce defect free cast material. In addition, any scrap that may be generated does not need to be sent out to be refined. Ewen Technology continuous casting furnaces are ideal for converting ‘in house’ scrap into a useable form. The Midget, Micro III, and Mini IV are very easy to move around the factory floor; ideal for the customer that has limited space available. No noise or excessive radiant heat is generated when operating these furnaces. With most standard non-ferrous materials there is very little, if any, fuming. |
