Casting aluminum with Wagstaff’s Ingot Mold Technologies can be enhanced using Mold Metal Level Control (MMLC) through a variety of methods. Wagstaff offers ingot casters four types of Mold Metal Level Control, each compatible with the Wagstaff AutoCast Automated Casting Control System.
Each system provides many features which work directly to the benefit of our customers through:
Increased productivity
- Controlled, repeatable cast starts and stops
- Ability to develop and optimize casting practices
Increased recovery
- Reduces operator error
- Reduces cracking and butt scrap through optimized practices
- Increased safety
- Reduces crew exposure during cast start, stop, and emergency procedures
Improved quality
- Increases consistency of metal properties from cast to cast
Most importantly, the casting control system, along with MMLC, is based on Wagstaff's extensive experience and years of research and development in rolling ingot casting.
MMLC devices offered include:
- Floats and Spouts
- Steady-eddys
- Inductive sensors
- Laser based sensors
