Castright™ – II is the premium accuracy Billet and Ingot Casting machine utilizing PLC Program operation. The machine comes in 3 to 7.5 meters long length and 1 to 160 ton drop weight. The modular design of the machine renders it suitable for installation above the ground, below the ground or both. Also, the Teflon padded elevator guiding mechanism is excellent for long life and accuracy and is applicable for brand new as well as revamp work.

Almex offers internally guided, double acting hydraulic cylinders for most precision casting motion.

The casting pit of the Castright II is designed in three chambers including side well and dry well. As available space and overhead crane spacing differ widely from plant to plant, the entire Castright II system is virtually conceived in a modular way and design finalizations are made in the customer's plant after extensive engineering surveys.

Castright II - Features:

	Water, Speed, Length & Temperature: Safety Interlocks
	Non-Flammable, Environmentally Friendly Hydraulic Oil
	Independent Tilt Frame Hydraulics
	Rate Gain Settings on Casting Speeds
	Scada/WonderwareTM Package

Castright II - Advantages:

High Precision for Hard & Soft Alloys, Premium Space Compatibility, Convertible Head Base: Ingot/Billets, Enhanced Charting capability, PLC Operated Hydraulics with back-up manual mode, Maintenance Free Cylinder Design, Emergency Dump Mode, Extensive Hydraulic & Water Alarms.

As continuous D.C. casting of Ingots and Billets is a multi disciplinary function, the operator's console of the machine is provided with all the accessory controls such as Tilt Frame, Mold Lube & Water Controls in an integrated way along with hydraulic controls. The dedicated computer and screen also have a provision to enter pertinent heat related data and analyze important variables with a powerful trending Software.

The PLC programming of Castright™ II makes it very convenient to cast hot short sensitive hard alloys as well. During the initial cold shutting phase while beginning the drop, every second of elevator motion is critical. The entire start-up sequence of elevator stop and go motions is taken care of by PLC leaving the operator to other important functions such as head level float control, tap out control etc. OMNICAST™ III automation package can even take care of those chores.
