ASK Chemicals, a leading supplier of foundry auxiliaries and high-performance industrial resins, presents ECOCAST ONE, an innovative riser technology that sets a milestone for users of feeder sleeves.
ECOCAST ONE is optimally tailored to the needs of foundries that are striving for both quality improvements and cost reductions while also maintaining environmental compatibility. The new product is currently the most competitive alternative to feeder sleeves on the market.
The know-how and experience gained from decades of developing successful riser solutions have been incorporated into the design of the new product. ECOCAST ONE from ASK Chemicals offers users the advantages of a precise break edge, easy positioning using a rigid mandrel and new possibilities for design freedom. Time-consuming and resource-intensive reworking of castings when using feeder sleeves is a thing of the past with ECOCAST ONE technology.
Since ECOCAST ONE is made entirely of steel, the sand system stays completely clean. Emissions caused by the feeder composition are eliminated and the disposal of burnt feeder residues is no longer necessary. Finally, the patented design of ECOCAST ONE allows for more efficient finishing of castings.
‘ECOCAST ONE is truly eco-smart. It changes what cost-conscious foundries expect from innovative riser technologies by enabling new degrees of freedom in design, overcoming casting defects and offering important environmental benefits,’ says Marcus Friederici, Technical Product Manager Riser and Filter. ’Our innovation avoids foreign matter in the sand system and offers our customers an emission-free solution. Furthermore, ECOCAST ONE is 100 per cent recyclable and can be seamlessly integrated into the foundry cycle without any loss of material.’
With the development of ECOCAST ONE, ASK Chemicals is once again demonstrating its commitment to improving quality, efficiency and sustainability in the foundry industry. ECOCAST ONE will be available from the beginning of 2025.
