Typical Benefits:
  • Highly space-efficient – feeds critical zones with a smaller footprint.
  • Reduces clean-up and grinding due to natural break-off at the neck.
  • Improves feeding effectiveness while keeping riser volumes low.
  • Open design simplifies mold setup and metal flow control.

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.
