Exothermic Open Sleeves

Typical Benefits:
  • Superior feeding efficiency due to high thermal activity.
  • Reduces casting defects like shrinkage and porosity.
  • Requires smaller feeder volumes → improves yield.
  • Good for steel and complex iron castings that solidify quickly

Exothermic Oval Open Sleeves widely used in foundries to improve feeding efficiency and casting integrity for ferrous metals

Key Features:
  • Open Top Design
    • Ideal for vertical feeding setups in cope or drag molds.
  • Exothermic Reaction:
    • When molten metal enters the sleeve, the exothermic reaction generates intense heat.
    • This heat delays solidification of the feeder, ensuring longer feeding time into the casting.
    • Improves directional solidification and reduces shrinkage cavities.
  • Optional Collars or Breaker Cores:
    • Can include collars for added height and breaker cores for easy riser removal.
