Open Neck Sleeves commonly used in foundry riser systems to optimize feeding with compact riser designs and efficient metal flow.
Key Features:
- Open Top Design
- Compatible with vertical mold setups, flask risers, or drag risers
- Material Options:
- Exothermic Open Neck: Reacts with molten metal to generate heat, keeping metal liquid longer. Ideal for steel or complex ductile iron castings.
- Insulating Open Neck: Uses insulation only, suitable for less critical iron castings.
- Highly Exothermic Material:
- Activates upon metal contact to create an exothermic reaction.
- Keeps metal in the riser molten longer → enables effective feeding.
- Reduces solidification speed in the riser compared to the casting.
