In order to achieve a safe and spontaneous opening of the ladle sliding gate when casting, it is essential that the sand is placed in the correct position in the ladle before tapping the metal into the ladle.
It is also important that enough sand is filled into the ladle because of sand losses due to erosion. If not enough sand is added to the ladle, the erosion burns off to much sand and the remaining sand in the ceramic pouring nozzle will be sintered. This causes an effective plug of sand, which inhibits spontaneous opening when the casting is to be started.
Our sand filling system can be tailor-made to fit your plant. Different mechanical solutions of the installation can be made and the system can be manually or semi / automatically controlled.
