ARTICLE TAKEAWAYS:
- Molten metal transfer has a major impact on metal quality
- Better metal transfer from improved graphite, refractory & ceramic pumps
- Newer technologies have amplified the advantages of using a mechanical pump
The transfer of molten metal is a fundamental process used in virtually every
stage of making nonferrous cast parts. Like most industrial processes, it has
evolved over time as innovators have introduced new ways of doing things.
In the beginning, gravity was the primary technology deployed in the process
of getting molten metal from point A to point B. It is still used today, but as
Mr. Newton taught us, it has limitations.

Defect Prevention In
Molten Metal Processing
Metalcasting is vulnerable to defects at various stages, often becoming noticeable only later, leading to costly repairs. It’s essential to identify and address these issues early in the process to ensure high-quality final products.
In this featured article, we explore effective strategies to prevent defects in metalcasting. For instance, implementing a filtered launder-transfer system can remove impurities from the metal, preventing downstream issues. Each phase of the process, from metal transfer to quality-focused activities, plays a crucial role in defect prevention. By considering the entire transfer system and focusing on technical specifics, complex defects can be avoided.

Why To & How To—
Clean Your Furnace
There is a stigma in the foundry business that cleaning your furnace should make you the star of the show “Dirty Jobs.” It’s not fun, it’s always hot and it can indeed be dirty!
It may also be that there are few things more important than keeping your furnace clean as it relates to your operation’s profitability. So, let’s take a closer look, not only at the “how to,” but at the “why to” clean your furnace and your furnace wells regularly. We will see that there are some aspects of this that will certainly vary from foundry to foundry, but in all cases, there are principles that will drive improvement in your business performance if you adhere to them. Your two largest costs in this business are raw material and energy. Good cleaning practices will provide a significant increase in throughput while reducing the energy required. These outcomes can be measured and will correlate directly with your income statement each month.

MMEI Pumps Power New Efficient Furnace for Toyota
July 8, 2022 – Deeside, Wales, UK
MMEI is proud to have contributed key components to a new aluminum furnace installation at the Toyota Deeside plant in Wales. MMEI’s equipment is designed and manufactured to support high-efficiency operation and long service life, making it an ideal choice for this installation. The new equipment will play a significant role in reducing carbon emissions at the plant, furthering Toyota’s goal of reaching net zero manufacturing carbon emissions by 2040.
The new furnaces — along with their integrated MMEI Mini Launder Transfer Pumps, Circulation Pumps, and Scrapeater chip melting systems — were officially activated on July 8th – National Manufacturing Day in the UK. Economy Minister Vaughan Gething said, “On National Manufacturing Day, I am delighted to help Toyota take their next step in their net zero mission with the new furnaces launched today.”
Using Available Data to Improve Performance and Generate New Revenue Streams
It seems fitting to begin this with a discussion of chips, as they are an all-consuming topic given how difficult they have become to procure. Gordon Moore predicted that the amount of information a microchip could process would double every two years, while the cost of that processing would decrease by 50% in the same time period. This is a revolutionary idea and has empowered a transformation in the way everything works. We have been reminded of this recently as the world’s chip shortage has been crippling to many industries and may lead to an entirely new round of innovation. Shifting away from the issue of being able to get chips at present, if we focus on what they can already do for us, I will posit that there is an abundance of available information not being used. If we put this information to better use it would provide opportunities for improvements within our own companies and allow companies to develop entirely new revenue streams.

Defect Prevention in Molten Metal Processing
Simple Solutions That Work! (Sept 2020) – The old adage that metal casting is a blend of art and science certainly rings true. At virtually every stage of the process there are opportunities to create what will ultimately become a defect in the part you are making.
Transferring Smaller Amounts of Molten Aluminum, Safely and Efficiently
Sometimes transferring smaller amounts of molten aluminum present big problems. Niche technologies present solutions for specific applications.
In metalcasting our focus is typically on large-scale problems, as they often have the greatest impact on our business results. In the business of producing secondary aluminum or aluminum castings there is no question that often it is a game of scale and efficiencies applied to large amounts of metal, liquid or solid. However, there are times when there is a need to focus on smaller amounts of metal, and how to transfer it both safely and efficiently. For example: when liquid metal must be transferred out of a casting machine after a run, or when there is an alloy change. Another example is delivering small, accurate doses directly to a mold to make a single casting. Let’s look at some ways to use niche product technologies to facilitate the safe and efficient transfer of small amounts of liquid metal.
