KALMIN and TEMPGARD Insulating Riser Sleeves for Aluminum Alloys
KALMIN and TEMPGARD Insulating Riser Sleeves for Aluminum Alloys
TEMPGARD Insulating Sleeves for Non-Ferrous Foundries
TEMPGARD riser sleeves are strong, low-density, tube sleeves of insulating refractory material. They are specifically designed to promote efficient feeding of sandcast aluminum and copper castings. The excellent insulation value of TEMPGARD delays solidification, keeping metal in the riser liquid longer. This allows smaller insulated risers to replace larger conventional sand-lined risers.
Benefits
• Sleeve withstands rough handling and molding
• Increased casting yield
• Reduced metal treatment costs
• Reduced riser contact area
• Reduced casting cleaning costs
• Low smoke and fume
• Sleeves are easily cut to special heights
KALMIN PM
Insulating Custom Shaped riser sleeves for permanent mold aluminum casting applications
KALMIN PM riser sleeves are custom designed to fit aluminum permanent mold applications. They provide the excellent feeding characteristics of Foseco riser sleeves, superior operational efficiency and robust yield improvement.
"Prior to our relationship with Weaver Materiel, we were purchasing riser sleeves direct from the OEM. As a stocking distributor, Weaver typically is able to deliver same or next day. OEM lead times averaged three to four weeks. With Weaver, I've been able to reduce my working inventory by about 40%."
