Electromagnetic Casting Pump & Furnace Compatibility for Aluminum Foundries

September 19, 2024

Electromagnetic (EM) pumps are a form of casting automation that solve many of the most common challenges aluminum foundries face. EM pumps are placed inside furnaces and use electromagnetism – not moving parts – to move precise amounts of molten metal from furnace to casting. In doing so, EM pumps produce excellent consistency from pour … Electromagnetic Casting Pump & Furnace Compatibility for Aluminum Foundries
