KALMINEX 2000 Insert Sleeves for Iron & Steel Foundries

KALMINEX 2000 insert sleeves are extensively used in the Iron & Steel foundry industry. The balanded exothermic / insulating formulation enables a reduction of feeder iron volume of up to 80% compared with an equivalent sand riser. The example shown case gives a saving potential of 31.54 kg iron returns per casting. This is equivalent to a reduction of 18.92 kWh melting power per casting.

In summary the Iron returns and energy savings based on 80,000 casting per year are:

• 2,523 t iron returns / year
• 1,514 MWh / year
• 779 t CO₂ emissions / year
