CleanCast® (CC) has been used to process Cast Aluminum Heads. The CC machine will receive the casting from the mold filling station. The same manipulator that removes the casting from the die or mold filling station will load the casting into the CC machine. The casting is conveyed through the furnace without a tray or basket. The casting rides directly on the conveyance surface. Inside the machine the casting will be simultaneously heat-treated, decored and the sand will be reclaimed for reuse. The pollution from binders is remediated, the energy from remediation is recuperated in the process. The customer is left with a clean, smoke free and optimum foundry environment both inside his plant and outside. The CC three in one machine can interface with a carousel, in-line shuttle or precision Sand Mold filling station.

CEC has installed 18 lines for the processing of cylinder heads which are made in precision Sand Molds (PSM), Semi Permanent Molds and Permanent Molds with gravity or low pressure mold filling. New innovations by CEC include processes for improving mechanical properties for high pressure aluminum die cast blocks and Compact Graphite Iron blocks and heads.

With CEC machines you get a written guarantee for energy usage, man-power needed, pollution, machinery up-time and operating parameters. CEC can even run your CC machine for you and allow that the payment for the machine be paid on a per casting price over time.
