TYPES OF POURING SYSTEMS

1. PRESSURIZED SYSTEM
INGATES ARE CHOKE SECTION

2. NON-PRESSURIZED SYSTEM
SPRUE OR RUNNER BASED CHOKE SECTION

3. HYBRID (MIXED) SYSTEM

FIRST PRESSURIZED FOLLOWED BY A NON-PRESSURIZED
SYSTEM
 POURING SYSTEM
TYPES OF POURING SYSTEMS

1. PRESSURIZED SYSTEM

INGATES ARE CHOKE SECTION

GOOD INCLUSION HOLDING CAPACITY
MOSTLY HIGHEST CASTING YIELD

HIGH METAL SPEED IN THE INGATES

Ss / Sr / Si = Sc 1 / 2 / 0,75 = 0,75

TYPES OF POURING SYSTEMS
2. NON-PRESSURIZED SYSTEM

SPRUE OR RUNNER BASED CHOKE SECTION

LOW METAL SPEED IN INGATES
REQUIRED IN CASE OF USE OF FILTERS

NON-FILLED SPRUE
LOWER INCLISION HOLDING CAPABILITY
MOSTLY LOWER CASTING YIELD

Ss = Sc / Sr / Si 1 = 1 / 2 / 2,25 OR
Ss / Sc / Sr / Si 1,3 / 1 / 2 / 2,25
