Vertical centrifugal casting machinery spins parts about a vertical axis. Parts are commonly of shorter height than diameter. The great benefit of spinning about a vertical axis is that practically any size and shape of casting can be spun about a vertical axis. Common castings poured in vertical machinery are rings and ball valve balls. Generally, vertical machines are divided into two categories, Stand-Alone machines, which can be easily added into a foundry with limited foundation work and Pit Mounted machinery, which are mounted below floor level and require a foundry to do substantial foundation work.
The question commonly asked is, can a casting that is commonly poured statically be poured vertically, even if it is a nonstandard shape. The answer is yes. Why pour castings in a vertical spinning machine that can be poured statically? The primary reasons are to obtain better quality castings, to produce castings more economically and to cast a part that cannot be satisfactorily cast statically. Reduction in cleaning room costs and higher yield are common reasons why foundries pour castings using vertical centrifugal casting machinery. Steel castings that are statically poured with a yield of 40 to 55% can be centrifugally cast with a yield closer to between 65 and 85%.
| Benefits of Vertical Casting |
Parts Quality
By injecting the molten metal vertically, trapped gases and turbulence are eliminated, resulting in parts with lower porosity and higher density. Part quality is improved since the molten metal has a direct pathway to the die.
Floor Space
Vertical die cast machines take up less space than horizontal machines.
Eliminates Trimming
Because of THT's unique direct gating, castings are near net shape and do not require a separate trimming operation eliminating time, equipment and additional floor space.
Quicker Mold Changes
Mold changes on THT vertical die casting machines average about half the time compared to traditional horizontal machines.
Less Tonnage Required
By eliminating the additional surface area requirements of a traditional runner/gating system, THT can cast parts utilizing less clamping pressures. The tonnage for THT's machines reflect the shot force rather than the clamping force. For example, THT's 100 ton machine has 100 tons of injection force compared to a standard horizontal machine having 100 tons of shot force, which would require a 400 ton clamping force.
Reduced Cycle Time
The cycle time using a multi-station vertical casting machine can be reduced by as much as 50% because it has the benefit of allowing you to complete other functions while parts are solidifying such as loading, unloading and lubricating.
