COLDMOLD – Accelerated cooling of large components

Get rid of low value finishing operations.

Gain efficiency, safe costs.

Accelerated cooling for large castings.

Improve your logistics capacity by ensuring the properties of your components

Coldmold technology allows to dominate the cooling process of large cast components (>300 kg.), providing significant logistical benefits and cost savings, ensuring or optimizing the quality of the parts.

By incorporating cooling circuits designed ad-hoc in the moulds, Coldmold also allows a controlled heat extraction, favoring the triggering of metallurgical phases that directly affect the mechanical properties of the components.

The Coldmold technology, developed by AZTERLAN, is protected by patent (EP3539687A1).

Main advantages

Coldmold, controlled cooling

1) Less logistic works and cost reduction

2) Assure the soundness of components

3) Controlled cooling for developing advanced materials and components

A strategic placement of cooling channels in the mold with respect to critical areas of the components allows:

More efficient foundry processes

We can help you create parts with improved properties.

Shaping the
Foundry of the Future

“The Foundry of the Future is that of connected processes that is able to take advantage of the knowledge generated inside the company at the same time that it keeps learning from its manufacturing and market experience.

Along with a deep knowledge of metallurgy, Industry 4.0 technologies, advanced data management systems and machine learning technologies have landed in this industry to transform the way castings are conceived”.
