100K Horizontal Centrifugal Casting Machines - Roll

The Model 100K Series Hori- zontal Centrifugal casting ma- chines are designed to produce a variety of castings for the steel mill roll industry.

Castings produced in a hori- zontal axis approach 100% material yield and requires no gates or risers producing a “True Centrifugal” casting.

These trunnion type machines utilize permanent steel molds, sand lined flasks, & Chills.

  • Steel Mill Rolls
  • Forming Rolls
  • Extrusion Billets
  • Ship shaft liners
  • Bi-Metal Rolls
  • Alloy Tubes
  • Reformer Tubes
  • Bushing Stock

Standard Equipment specifications

  • Chill Thrust Assembly

  • ASL-20HD Spray Assembly

  • Operators Control Console

  • Pouring Car Assembly

  • Drive Unit Assembly

  • Variable Speed Drive Controls

  • Touch Screen Controls

The Basic Centrifugal Roll Casting Process

Fig. 1 The Chill (or steel mold) is slowly rotated on the spinner assembly (or placed in a furnace de- pending on wall thickness of the Chill) and preheated to a uniform temperature and sprayed with an in-sulating wash where the temperature of the Chill immediately dries the mold wash.

Fig. 2 Once the Chill has been sprayed, mold speed is increased and a predetermined amount of moltenmetal is poured into the funnel that transfers the molten metal into the bore of the Chill.

Fig. 3 The Chill is allowed to rotate for a predetermined amount of time where a flux additive is intro-duced and upon solidification of the metal, the mold is removed from the centrifugal casting machine.

Fig. 4 The Chill is transferred to a pit where it is rotated from its horizontal axis position to a vertical axis and placed in a pit where it is assembled to the drag portion of the Chill and topped with the copeto form the necks of the roll.

Fig. 5 Metal is introduced into the assembled Chill to complete the roll.
