Runners & Treatment Box
Runners are connected channels that convey the molten metal to different parts of the mold. Calderys provide various refractory solutions for this critical equipment in the aluminum production process.For this Aluminum foundry area, Calderys is focused on providing you with the highest metal quality by offering refractory solutions for zero metal impurities and chemical pick-up. To avoid hydrogen pick-up, Calderys experts recommend precast (ready-shape) or in-house equipment lining using our trusted monolithic refractories for the most immediate and efficient servicing.
Calderys refractories are designed specifically for liquid aluminum contact with the goal of increasing your equipment lifetime. Key benefits include:
- Resistance to corrosion
- Minimal metal temperature loss
- High mechanical resistance in balance with strong thermal insulation
Our experts will recommend to you the ideal refractory options for all equipment zones (see full details on 3D drawing above), including runners or trough, dam, weir, filter box, degassing box, casting table, treatment box, purging plug, and the cover or lid. For the runners, Calderys ensures thermal expansion stability to avoid infiltration and preserve production.
