In direct process comparison of a compressor housing cast in gravity casting and low-pressure casting, significant advantages of the Kurtz low pressure technology become obvious. Benefit from our experience - we will be happy to discuss your project!
Advantages of Kurtz low-pressure technology:
- Extremely reduced cycle material
- Considerably lower costs for cleaning, rework,
and re-melting of returns - Increase in output (more reproducible process,
more independent of external influences) - Enormous flexibility in casting and feeding of parts
