Air-Casting moulds and water distribution heads tailored to billet diameter are designed and manufactured by GUMEN. Complete delivery from a single supplier.
The air curtain prevents direct water contact in the solidification zone. Risk of cold shuts and cracks on the surface is minimised, while surface quality improves.
With the ultrasonic test system integrated into the casting line, each billet is scanned after cutting. Internal defect reporting and process feedback are handled on the same platform.
Design, manufacturing and commissioning are handled entirely by GUMEN. Export to more than 7 countries from Turkiye. Local parts mean faster service and shorter lead times.
In standard DC casting systems, cooling water comes into direct contact with the metal surface. This causes abrupt cooling differences on the surface and increases crack risk. In the Air-Casting system, the air curtain placed below the mould delays direct water contact with the metal surface during solidification. Result: a more uniform solidification front, better surface quality and less need for surface machining.
