FOSECO Committed to Foundries

Feeding system products are a range of insulating, exothermic-insulating or exothermic sleeves designed to extend the solidification times of feeder heads. They may be open or closed and are available in a wide range of design and sizes. They can be supplied with or without breaker cores.

Application of the correct breaker core can reduce the contact area between feeder and casting by as much as 75%, significantly reducing or even eliminating expensive fettling operations.

A wide variety of breaker core designs are available to suit the needs of individual casting applications.

The application of Foseco feeding solutions avoid shrinkage defects and improve casting yields, reducing the amount of non-productive metal poured. Significant savings can also be made in fettling and cleaning operations.
