This automation system controls all the sequences in the casting phases and all associated parameters from the furnace interface, through the upstream equipment
Mechatherm have supplied and installed several Vertical D.C. (Direct Chill) casting machines for plants looking to produce anything from 5,000T/A up to 150,000T
Direct Chill casting is a method for the fabrication of cylindrical or rectangular solid until the maximum length possible in the machine is reached (up to 10 m).
My appreciation also goes to the staff in the engineering machine shop of the 1.1 Description of the Direct Chill Casting Process for Aluminum Alloys .
