Wirtz Continuous Grid Casting System – Concast CC-23200

Wirtz Continuous Grid Casting System – Concast CC-23200

Wirtz Manufacturing developed the technology is the industry leader in continuous-cast battery grid manufacturing. The ConCast system is installed in over 50 battery manufacturing sites worldwide and produces single or double wide continuous grids with the lug position on the inside or outside of a double wide strip. Grids are held to precise thickness and weight tolerances and the casting of the grids are completed without generating scrap lead. Grid designs are flexible and offer all the advantages of traditional gravity cast grids, including:

  • Side frames for strength, no punctured separators.
  • Designable grids: Variable sizes, tapered frames, radial corners
  • Wet or Dry charge grids
  • Grid designs for better paste retention
  • No recycling of scrap – no lead waste
  • The thinnest, lightest weight negative grids
  • Calcium alloys, antimony alloys, lead tin, pure lead
  • Single wide or double wide grid configurations, lugs in or lugs out

ConCast grids are used in nearly every type of lead acid battery on the market today, including

  • Automotive
  • VRLA and Motorcycle
  • Wound Cell (Spiral)
  • Small Engine
  • Motive Power
  • Industrial Applications
