Silmeta Systems

The emergency run out pit is the ultimate safety device a foundry business needs and is located below the water-cooled electric furnace. During a run out, the Silmeta run out pit collects the entire molten metal and effectively prevents any contact with cooling water at the same time and thus avoids the deadly steam explosion. With more than 500 installs in Europe and the US, our customers can rely on the patented run out pit technology from the industry leader. More than 175 run outs have been safeguarded by Silmeta's run out pit technology producing not only 0 personal damage, but super-fast clean out and shortest downtime again that the industry can see.
