Aluminium Casting Cylinders

Self Guided Vertical Casting Cylinders with Anti-Rotation

HUNGER have produced over 200 aluminium casting cylinders with internal guiding & anti-rotation.

Self-guided vertical casting cylinders are the standard of today, replacing the outdated externally guided machines with their inherent maintenance issues.

Outstanding features of HUNGER vertical casting cylinders include pre-calculated high bending resistance under eccentric loading conditions together with an extremely precise anti-rotation device over the entire stroke.

In addition, wear resistant piston rod coating Ceraplate® combined with HUNGER DFE seal and guiding elements guarantees stick-slip-free casting movement at very low casting speeds.

Hunger also provide furnace tilting and door cylinders together with hydraulic power packs and control systems for the complete casting machine.
