operation for weeks with little or no variation in temperature and wall thickness/concentricity. The lead wall thickness can be kept to a minimum with corresponding savings in lead. A range of die blocks cover diameters from 6 to 190mm (over lead), and melting pots are available for capacities of 10, 18, 35 and 60 tonnes.

HFSAB is able to provide upgrades, spare parts, extensive after-sales service, know-how, and fully trained and experienced technician support. H Folke Sandelin AB www.hfsab.com
