Wirtz Industrial Gravity Casting Machine – Model 332C

Wirtz Model 332C Grid Caster for Production of Industrial Battery Grids using Lead Calcium or Lead Antimony to Produce High Quality Grids

The 332C Industrial Grid Caster is an easy to operate, easy to maintain machine, producing uniform size and weight grids – in four to twelve cycles per minute. It features a unique grid transfer mechanism with grid centering and a pallet die entry mechanism that eliminates jams and mis-trims. As a result, the 332C can produce up to 60% more grids than competitive casters. All machines have complete internal piping for gas, air, water and mold coolant. Additionally, a rubberized internal scrap conveyor belt returns waste to the melting pot. For increased production and improved quality, the Wirtz 332C caster is the hands down winner for calcium or antimony alloys.
