METALCASTING SUPPLIES Melt Flow Controller
Precise control over aluminum fl ow during the casting process is important to meet quality standards. VHE, Iceland, has a metal fl ow controller that can accurately control aluminum fl ow from launders into casting molds. T rough the use of step motors, high ac- curacy requirements can be met while delivering a simple and durable design. T e unit requires little
maintenance and can tolerate heat and vibration. Visit

ECOPART 756 Release Agent
ASK Chemicals, Hilden, Ger- many, developed a release agent ECOPART 756, that consists of specialty silicones and additives dissolved in hydrocarbons. It is suitable for all gas curing pro- cesses. T e release agent improves process effi ciency by reducing the amount of cleaning required for coreboxes, for instance, and has an increased lifespan, which reduces frequent application cycles. ECOPART 756 also delays the buildup of resin and
sand in core boxes, which further optimizes casting quality. Visit

Scheduling Software
Synchro ERP recently released additional functionality to its software to allow users to defi ne family patterns/plates in the system. Modifi cations to the scheduling module allow for the easy planning of family patterns/plates even where no ac- tive orders exist for some of the products
forming part of the family. Visit

Recyclable, Reusable Sealant
Ultra Seals Inc., New Paltz, NY, developed 1955/R, a revolutionary, 100% recoverable thermal-curing impregnation sealant that can be recycled and reused to seal future castings. Because rinse water also is reused, a near-zero discharge is achievable. T e sealant performs on a wide range of castings including oil pumps, cylinder heads, intake manifolds, oil pans and engine blocks. It is certifi ed to Mil-Spec (MIL-I-17563C) and listed on the Navy Qualifi ed Product
list (QPL-17563). Visit
