Small Standard Ingot Molds — 7 to 9kg Aluminium Ingot Casting

SMI manufactures small standard ingot molds for casting 7 to 9kg aluminium ingots — supplied to primary smelters, secondary remelters, aluminium rod plants and metal processing facilities requiring compact, high-cycle ingot casting tooling. All molds are produced to customer drawing or specification, with surface treatment options available to suit different operating environments and handling requirements.

Product Description

The SMI small standard ingot mold is a three cavity long-form casting tool — designed for efficient, repeatable casting of small aluminium ingots in batch production environments. The three cavity configuration allows three ingots to be cast per pour, increasing throughput and reducing cycle time compared with single cavity alternatives. Cavity geometry is optimised for consistent ingot weight, clean release and stable stacking after casting.

Two surface finish options are available as shown in the gallery above — natural steel finish for standard service conditions, and protective coating finish for environments requiring enhanced corrosion resistance or specific handling requirements. Both configurations are produced from the same casting geometry to customer weight and dimension specification.

Key Features

• Three cavity configuration — three ingots cast per pour, increasing production throughput and reducing cycle time
• Consistent ingot weight — cavity geometry engineered for repeatable 7 to 9kg ingot output per cavity
• High thermal resistance — material selection and wall geometry optimised for resistance to repeated thermal cycling in continuous casting service
• Surface finish options — natural steel finish or protective coating to customer requirement
• Custom dimensions — cavity dimensions, overall mold length and weight range available to customer specification
• Clean release geometry — draft angles and internal cavity profile designed for consistent ingot release without sticking or deformation

Materials and Application

SMI small standard ingot molds are produced in material grades selected to the metal being cast and the operating temperature of the customer’s casting process:

• Aluminium ingot casting — standard material grade optimised for aluminium service temperatures and thermal cycling conditions
• Copper and copper alloy ingot casting — higher temperature material grades available for the elevated service temperatures of copper casting operations
• Tin and lead ingot casting — material selection to the lower temperature requirements of tin and lead casting applications

SMI also manufactures ingot molds for other non-ferrous metal casting applications — contact SMI to discuss material selection and mold geometry for your specific casting requirements.
