While vertical
centrifuging of metals has been in practice for some
time it has been found that when casting alumimiun
alloys using this process a large amount of oxide can
be generated due to metal turbulence generated by the
spinning mould or die.
Centracast Westside Engineerieng Ltd has
minimised this problem by designing the
control system CENTRATECH®
using the
latest technology which is capable of
controlling the casting process.

CENTRATECH®
control system

Short tool setting
times coupled with the ability to recall stored
casting recepies from the CENTRATECH®
control system make set up times very efficiant
assisting gratley in short run production costs.
This control system can be adjusted to suit the
casting charactistics of different dies or moulds as
shown below.

This innovation ensured :-
-
The ability to cast
thinner sections.
-
Reduces gassing and
porousity.
-
Improved
directional solidification of metal dendrites.
-
Improved
dimensional accuracy.
-
Stronger casting
weight : strength ratio.
-
Higher casting
yield.
-
Faster die casting
times.
-
Improved visuality
or appearance of castings.
-
Fettling time is
reduced due to less runners and risers.
