Foseco’s feeding system products are designed to help foundry operators make sound castings for less money. Foseco is the global leader in feeding system products because our products have the highest thermal and feed performance available. And, because Foseco’s feeding aids are carefully made in very reliable processes, feed performance is particularly consistent.
The application of Foseco feeding solutions avoid shrinkage defects and improve casting yields, reducing the amount of non-productive metal poured. Significant savings can also be made in fettling and cleaning operations.
Direct Pour Technology
The KALPUR direct pouring process is the combined use of a feeder sleeve and ceramic foam filter. It is suitable for hand-moulded castings, and horizontal and vertical automatic moulding lines. The KALPUR process entirely eliminates the need for a conventional running system.
KALPUR ST - Direct pour feeder filter system with STELEX filters for all grades and types of steel castings
Insulating Feeder Sleeves
KALMIN 100Plus and KALMIN 91 sleeves are insulating, lightweight riser sleeves used to efficiently feed castings. These sleeves are highly resistant to dilation and provide superior insulating characteristics, with low smoke and fume. The use of riser sleeves increases casting yield by allowing smaller riser sizes than conventional sand risers and reduces cleaning costs.
Exothermic Feeder Sleeves
KALMINEX 41 is an exothermic-insulating range of feeder sleeves supplied as preformed cylinders and neck-downs. They are ideally suited for jobbing iron and steel applications.
KALMINEX 2000plus and KALMINEX 108 are accurately formed, highly exothermic and insulating shapes suitable for feeding all grades of steel. They are available as open, blind and neck down sleeves.They are available in diameter upto 150 mm.
Ideally applied as an insert sleeve, the high strength of KALMINEX 2000plus and KALMINEX 108 means that they can also easily be used for ram-up applications.
Anti-piping Compounds
FERRUX is a range of exothermic insulating anti-piping compounds for covering steel risers. FERRUX improves feeder performance and minimises skull formation.
THERMEXO - Highly exothermic metal producing compound
Insulating and Exothermic Preformed Lids
KAPEX is a range of preformed lids suitable for application to KALMIN and KALMINEX open feeders.
Insulating Pad
KALPAD - Insulating padding material suitable for replacing metal pads
SCK - Sleeve Construction Kit
The SCK system is a modular system for jobbing castings, allowing the foundry to tailor the sleeve package to the appropriate modulus to maximise yield and minimise the riser footprint.
The SCK set can be assembled to achieve the required modulus with smallest contact area. The system is therefore an ideal solution for casting sections which offer minimum footprints.
Excellent feeding efficiency will ensure a clean casting surface at the contact sleeve area. The highly exothermic components will be placed on the lower insulating parts via an interlock system. Locator pins are used for centering the set.
