Highly Insulating Open Sleeves – Cylindrical which are key components in feeding systems for ferrous metal castings where extended insulation is more critical than exothermic reaction.
Key Features:
- Open Top Design
- Allows molten metal to be poured directly into the sleeve.
- Typically used as top risers in vertical or horizontal mold layouts.
- Cylindrical Shape:
- Ensures even directional feeding and is easy to install into the mold
- Commonly used for uniform section castings
- Highly Insulating Material:
- Designed to minimize heat loss from the riser to the environment
- No chemical exothermic reaction — instead, it acts like a thermal blanket.
- Keeps riser metal liquid longer through thermal retention, not heat generation.
