CastAlum

Use of a Die Casting Release Agent is a key factor in the production of a quality product and minimizes down time due to “Solder” build up during the Die Casting process. If this can be incorporated whilst showing a direct cost saving, driven by the supplier’s ability to change the ratio needed to achieve the required process, this is a “win-win” for CastAlum and its strategic suppliers.

CastAlum is the only foundry in Europe to successfully operate a Squeeze casting resource. CastAlum has 3 Squeeze cells ranging from 1450 to 2000 tonnes which size DCM’s allow a shot weight of up to 20 kilos. Each dedicated cell operates with its own energy efficient Tower melting facility, obviating the opportunity for any metal segregation and minimising oxide build up.

In line with the principles of our ISO 14001 Certification, CastAlum have continually looked to improve its Carbon Footprint in all areas of the business.
