Alloy Ingot Casting Machine

## Main Applications

The ingot casting machine is a key device in the metallurgical industry used for forming ingots. It is widely applied in the production of aluminum ingots, zinc ingots, lead ingots, copper ingots, aluminum alloy ingots, zinc alloy ingots, and other metal materials. This equipment employs advanced variable frequency speed regulation technology, significantly improving production efficiency. Its straight-line design ensures uniformity of ingot blocks while effectively reducing manual labor intensity. The machine has a maximum width of 1.5 meters and a length typically ranging from 18 to 25 meters, meeting the needs of different scales and types of casting processes.

## Working Principle

### Ingot Casting Machine Workflow

1. Metal Liquid Treatment

• Molten aluminum, zinc, or lead flows out of the melting furnace.
• The liquid undergoes efficient filtration through a waterway trough filter box to ensure impurities are effectively removed.

2. Distribution and Pouring

• After filtering, the metal liquid enters the distributor, which operates in sync with the casting machine.
• The distributor is equipped with 8 or more uniformly distributed outlets, precisely aligned with the running ingot mold cavities.
• During pouring, the flow rate of aluminum water is synchronized with the advancing speed of the casting machine to ensure the metal liquid reaches an ideal depth (approximately 90%) within the mold cavity.

3. Intelligent Control System

• The casting machine utilizes advanced variable frequency speed regulation technology for precise speed adjustment and efficient production.
• The system ensures product uniformity and consistency through real-time monitoring and adjustments.

4. Rapid Cooling and Mold Removal

• After pouring, the mold enters a cold water immersion zone. The bottom is cooled rapidly via a circulating water cooling system.
• Once cooled, the aluminum ingot undergoes treatment with a mold removal air hammer to ensure successful demolding and safe operation.

5. Mold Maintenance

• Pre-use Preparation: Cold molds are preheated using heaters to prevent safety accidents and mold damage caused by temperature differences.
• Post-use Maintenance: The mold is cleaned and coated with a specialized release agent to extend its lifespan and reduce maintenance costs.
