For melting, assess the alloy, power and required melting rate together. Crucible capacity alone does not define output.
Moulding options include vertical and horizontal flaskless systems, flask moulding lines and chemically bonded sand processes. Flaskless moulding still uses sand moulds.
Compare mixers, sand preparation and reclamation by sand and binder type, batch capacity or continuous throughput.
Select cold-box, hot-box or shell core equipment according to the core and process requirements.
For pouring and ladles, assess the alloy, load and moulding-line compatibility. For shot blasting, assess casting geometry and surface requirements.
In the ZENES catalogue, select an equipment group and review the product code, dimensions and technical table. Values absent from the documentation require confirmation.
