Sleeves

Exothermic and Insulating Feeder Sleeves for Iron and Steel Castings


Highly exothermic and insulating feeder sleeves are designed for use in iron and steel casting applications. These sleeves are engineered to deliver consistent and repeatable performance, validated through stringent quality control procedures at all stages of production. They promote uniform and directional solidification, resulting in improved casting yield and a reduction in riser metal requirements.

Product Range – Feeder Sleeves

The feeder sleeves are available in both Exothermic and Insulating configurations, in the following size ranges (in inches):
