Maintenance of Ingot Molds by Shot Blasting

Shot blasting is an essential method for the maintenance and preservation of ingot molds used in the steel industry. This surface treatment process eliminates the residues us and imperfections, ensuring optimal performance and a longer service life for your equipment.

At Calider Industrie, we use cutting-edge technologies and recognized expertise to offer customized maintenance, adapted to your specific needs.

This operation is the best option for cleaning residues inside the ingot molds and ensuring optimal maintenance.

A significant portion of the shot is reusable. In addition, no shot residue remains in the cast iron because the nozzle makes a final pass by blowing compressed air.

The projection of shot “hammers” the cast iron and guarantees a surface hardness of the skin, which has the effect of extending the service life of the ingot mold.

At CALIDER INDUSTRIE, we are also specialists in the maintenance of copper ingot molds for remelting. Shot blasting, in addition to regular brushing, removes materials stuck in certain areas.

We also provide maintenance for all types of foundry parts.
