BUENA PARK, California, USA – November 2006 –

Mega™ Internally Guided Double-Acting Hydraulic Cylinder Installed in Southern California

Almex USA Inc. completed the placement of an Almex Mega™ DC Casting Machine in a new Southern California, USA casthouse. The novel design includes a ceramic coated cylinder rod, unique internal guidance system and is available in double acting configuration which is required for advanced casting techniques. In addition to the Mega™ Casting Machine, Almex has also furnished Almex LARS® Liquid Aluminum Refining System, Almex Castright II™ Casting Process Control System, and Almex Excel™ DC billet casting system at this installation.

The casting cylinder is the primary device of a DC Casting Machine. The Almex Mega™ Casting Machine is specifically built for the rigorous conditions of DC aluminum casting. It supports heavy casting loads while providing precise position and motion control. The ceramic rod coating and extra heavy construction provide protection from molten aluminum spills, potential heavy impact loads, and eccentric loading of the cast product.
