SMI customized many shapes and sizes of ingot molds.
These ingot molds can be used for many different types of metals such as Aluminum, Magnesium, Lead, Brass, Bronze and Zinc.
Production Process
The manufacturing of Sow Molds involves a precise and controlled production process:
1. Material Selection:
High-quality, heat-resistant alloys are carefully selected to withstand the extreme temperatures encountered during aluminum smelting, magnesium smelting, lead smelting, brass smelting, bronze smelting or zinc smelting.
2. Mold Casting:
The selected materials are cast into the desired mold shape using advanced casting techniques. This process ensures the formation of a durable and precisely engineered mold.
3. Heat Treatment:
The cast molds undergo heat treatment processes to enhance their heat resistance, durability, and overall performance in the demanding conditions of Aluminum, Magnesium, Lead, Brass, Bronze or Zinc smelting facilities.
4. Quality Control:
Rigorous quality control measures are implemented at various stages of the production process to ensure that each Sow Mold meets the required specifications and standards.
5. Customization:
The molds are customized according to the specifications provided by Aluminum, Magnesium, Lead, Brass, Bronze or Zinc smelting facilities, taking into account factors such as size, capacity, and specific operational requirements.

SMI steel casting salt slag bins are purpose-built cast steel containers designed for the collection, cooling and transport of hot salt slag generated by secondary remelt tilt rotary furnace operations. The bins are engineered to withstand the extreme heat and corrosive conditions of salt slag handling in secondary aluminium smelters and recycling plants — conditions that standard fabricated steel containers cannot reliably manage over an extended service life.
Salt slag bins supplied by SMI are compatible with dross press systems for integrated dross processing workflows, and can equally be deployed as standalone salt slag cooling vessels where a separate cooling process is preferred. Custom dimensions and configurations are available to suit specific furnace output volumes, material handling equipment and floor space constraints.
SMI salt slag bins are manufactured as cast steel components — not fabricated from plate. Cast construction provides uniform wall thickness, eliminates weld seams as potential failure points, and delivers the structural mass necessary for effective thermal absorption during hot salt slag containment. The cast steel body is engineered for repeated thermal cycling from ambient temperature to the temperature of freshly discharged rotary furnace salt slag without cracking or distortion.
The internal profile of the bin is designed for clean discharge of cooled salt slag without material sticking to the walls or base. Draft angles and internal surface geometry are specified to minimise manual intervention during discharge and to reduce wear on the internal surface over repeated use cycles.
The base and support feet are cast integrally with the bin body — no secondary fabrication or welded attachments. The base structure provides stable, level positioning on casthouse floor surfaces and accommodates standard forklift handling for transfer between furnace, cooling area and downstream processing.
A lid configuration is available as an optional addition for applications where containment of airborne salt slag particulate during transport is required. Lid options are confirmed at the enquiry stage based on the specific handling and environmental requirements of each installation.

All supply relationships are subject to confidentiality agreements. Reference accounts are available to qualified buyers under appropriate confidentiality terms.
Los contenedores de escoria salina de fundición de acero de SMI son recipientes de acero fundido diseñados específicamente para la recolección, enfriamiento y transporte de escoria salina caliente generada por operaciones de hornos rotativos inclinables de refusión secundaria. Están diseñados para soportar el calor extremo y las condiciones corrosivas del manejo de escoria salina en fundiciones secundarias de aluminio y plantas de reciclaje.
Los contenedores son compatibles con sistemas de prensa de escoria para flujos de trabajo integrados de procesamiento de escoria, y también pueden utilizarse como recipientes independientes de enfriamiento de escoria salina. Se encuentran disponibles dimensiones y configuraciones personalizadas para adaptarse a los volúmenes de producción específicos de cada instalación, equipos de manejo de materiales y restricciones de espacio.
SMI ofrece servicio de entrega DDP, con un plazo de entrega de aproximadamente 22 semanas desde la confirmación del pedido. El servicio de instalación en sitio está disponible con cargo por día. Para consultas técnicas o solicitudes de cotización, por favor contacte al equipo de SMI →

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. The reverse of this is the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy and is done by an electric generator, which has much in common with a motor.
Found in applications as diverse as industrial fans, blowers and pumps, machine tools, household appliances, power tools, and disk drives, electric motors can be powered by direct current (DC) sources, such as from batteries, motor vehicles or rectifiers, or by alternating current (AC) sources, such as from the power grid, inverters or generators. Small motors may be found in electric watches. General-purpose motors with highly standardized dimensions and characteristics provide convenient mechanical power for industrial use. The largest of electric motors are used for ship propulsion, pipeline compression and pumped-storage applications with ratings reaching 100 megawatts. Electric motors may be classified by electric power source type, internal construction, application, type of motion output, and so on.
Electric motors are used to produce linear or rotary force (torque), and should be distinguished from devices such as magnetic solenoids and loudspeakers that convert electricity into motion but do not generate usable mechanical powers, which are respectively referred to as actuators and transducers.
