CASTING & COOLING
"TRANSLOOP"
The ‘TRANSLOOP’ is an automated looping system using fabricated pouring pallets with wheels built into the pallets, from our partner Transtek. This system uses a hydraulic ‘push on’ system mounted outside the track system and the opposite transfer car includes a ‘pull-on’ mechanism which locks the pouring pallet on to the transfer car..
