Warning!
Bodily harm by burning.
Before you switch on the system fix the protective cover in front the
die cooler. An absence of the protective cover will lead to danger
during casting of
burns if liquid metal squirts,
burns on hot surfaces and
squeezing the hand between the pressing rollers.
Warning!
Danger of explosion.
Dripping of liquid metal can’t be excluded.
Set up a water-filled steel tub below the casting device.
When aluminium is poured the steel-tub must be filled with sand. If
the tub is filled with water then it exists a danger of explosion.
The floor beneath the system must be made of non-flammable mate-
rial. As well there must not be stored inflammable materials within a
radius of 5 metres.
Attention!
If crucible temperature is over 100 °C then cooling water supply must
be switched on. If it is not turned on, the inductor will be destroyed. If
cooling water supply fails, the heating system immediately is turned
off. Inspect the system for damage before putting back into operation
again.
Advice:
Close the die always with the starter bar before melting process to
prevent/reduce oxidation.
7.2 Changing casting parts
7.2.1 Removal
> Open the bell-lid. Take out thermocouples.
> Remove stainless steel press plate (2 brass nuts).
> Loose die cooler a little bit at the screw at the left side with the Al-
len key.
> Lift sealing rod with button “sealing rod” and remove it.
> Remove “old crucible” with die, insulations and if necessary draw-
ing rolls.
