Automatic Metal Handling Systems
Fast, Secure and Precise Liquid Metal Delivery
In modern foundries, the transfer of molten metal from melting furnaces to holding furnaces or casting lines is critical for maintaining operational speed and metallurgical quality. Our Automated Metal Transfer Systems are designed to transport high-temperature molten metal along a predetermined route in the shortest possible time and with minimal heat loss, without requiring manual intervention.
Smart Logistics and Seamless Flow
Our systems consist of rail-mounted ladle transfer cars, automated monorail lines, or unmanned transfer units. Thanks to intelligent software integration, the metal requirement on the casting line is detected instantly, and the appropriate amount of metal is automatically retrieved from the melting section.
Advantages of Automated Metal Transfer
Essential features that prevent bottlenecks and enhance safety on your production line:
Maximum Workplace Safety: Eliminates the need for the operator to be in hazardous areas during the handling of liquid metal, minimizing the risk of burns and accidents.
Precise Temperature Management: By optimizing transfer time and using closed crucible technologies, it minimizes the drop in the casting temperature of the liquid metal (heat loss).
High Positioning Accuracy: Laser sensors and encoders ensure the crucible approaches the casting machine or holding furnace with millimeter precision.
Full Synchronization with the Casting Line: Automatically adjusts the metal feed speed according to the molding line speed, eliminating downtime.
Data Traceability: Digitally records which furnace sent which mold, how much metal, at what temperature, and when (Industry 4.0).
Programmable Routing and Prioritization: Manages complex transfer traffic between multiple melting furnaces and casting lines using intelligent algorithms.
