Shuttle System Operations
The shuttle system is designed to enable the rapid and safe exchange of holding furnaces, ensuring uninterrupted casting operations. When a holding furnace becomes depleted, the system quickly replaces it with a pre-filled, degassed furnace – minimizing downtime and maintaining a continuous flow of high-quality alloy for production. The same shuttle is also used for our Quick-Change mold system.

Description |
|---|---|
| Superior Metal Quality | Thanks to our integrated in-line degassing system, molten metal is never re-poured. This ensures the highest alloy integrity and cleanliness throughout the casting process. |
| Eliminating Furnace Maintenance Downtime | With exchatngeable furnaces, all maintenance is performed offline, allowing production to continue uninterrupted—eliminating downtime associated with furnace servicing. |
| Eliminating Furnace Downtime | In the event of a furnace failure, the system enables immediate replacement with a standby unit already on the line. This results in virtually zero production interruptions. |
| Enhanced Operator Safety | Operators are never exposed to hazardous manual metal transfers using forklifts or ladles. All furnace exchanges are shuttled, providing a highly safe working environment. |
