Auto dam in operation

Auto Dams

Auto dams provide accurate metal stoppage and metal direction flow control. Auto dams are supplied ready to install on many Rex Materials High Performance Metal Delivery Systems.

Dam assemblies use robust four inch diameter, dual acting cylinders and are provided with replaceable dam inserts, gasket material, air regulator and flow control. Dams are equipped with solenoid valves for applications requiring increased automation.

A major benefit of Rex Materials' Auto Dams is the reduced operator exposure to molten metal. This is especially true for emergency draining of the launder system, where 'hands off', remote control keeps the operators away from cascading metal and where fast response is critical.
