Magaldi designs latest cooling technology for aluminium casting

Magaldi, based in Salerno, Italy, which engages in designing and manufacture of market reliable, high quality and environmentally sustainable industrial solutions worldwide, has designed an air-cooling system optimized for aluminium casting, a news report from the company says.

The Magaldi Casting Coolers (MCC) cools down the aluminium cylinder heads from 320°C to lower than 80°C. The aluminium cylinder heads are kept onto the MCC belt and enter the cooling tunnel where they are cooled down by forced air.

Magaldi has designed the MCC after theoretical studies and experimental tests on real representative aluminium castings. Magaldi has been awarded by Nemak with two MCC.

Nemak, the Mexican leading provider of light-weighting solutions for the global automotive industry specializing in the development and manufacturing of aluminium components, was looking for a technology that can cool down aluminium cylinder heads for its plant in Monterrey.
