CastMaster 4×4

CastMaster is an ultimate result of PE-TRA’s Engineers innovation in Aluminum Runner & Riser cutting, which cuts with ease and most importantly ‘WITH DUE SAFETY’, as required by CE norms.

 

As the name suggests, this machine is designed to cut Aluminum casting Runner &Risers (R&R). Traditionally, R&R are being cut either manually on vertical band saw machines or with custom made special purpose machines. In many cases, productivity is compromised and safety is at stake while space utilized by the conventional R&R cutting solutions is huge. Also, manpower requirement for cutting is significant as machines are mostly semi automatic and operation is completely manual requiring one operator per machine. Considering large numbers of R&R cutting in a medium to large scale aluminum foundry special care had been taken to assure high productivity, high reliability, 24/7 operation with low energy consumption, long blade life, lowest coolant costs and no hydraulic oil overheating alongside with full CE conformance. Provisions for robotic load/unload functions have been made for fully automatic production.
