designed for use in ferrous castings both in hot and cold riser
applications. They are available in a variety of sizes and styles, Insertable

EXACTCAST EX riser sleeves provide improved dimensional accuracy, low gas


evolution, excellent strength, and uniform chemical composition. The accuracy and
consistency of EXACTCAST EX riser sleeves provide the user with more flexibility of
design and use. Their excellent strength helps reduce breakage during handling and
molding. The absence of inorganic fibers in the formulation improves the work
environment and helps the foundry avoid the potential of any long-term health problems
that might be associated with worker exposure to fiberous materials.

General Use
EXACTCAST EX cylindrical and neckdown riser sleeves are designed to be rammed
up in the mold as it is produced. The EXACTCAST EX insertable sleeves can also
be rammed up in the mold as it is produced, however, their dimensional accuracy and
design makes them equally suited to be inserted into a sleeve print cavity in the mold
after it is made. The insertable style sleeves can be used in a wide variety of molding
applications including: high and low production green sand, shell, and even permanent
molding. Their surface smoothness and dimensional accuracy allow them to be used
with automatic core setting equipment in high production molding. The use of special
sleeve print cavity formers is not required, rather the sleeve cavity should be designed
just as you would design a core print. EXACTCAST EX riser sleeves help improve
casting yields by allowing the use of smaller risers compared to sand risers.
