High quality melt, accurately delivered – every time
Westomat is a crucible-free, closed holding and dosing system for liquid aluminum. It provides precise dosing of clean metal to the die casting machine or mould, with no temperature loss or risk of oxidation from air exposure. As a result, Westomat furnaces consume up to two thirds less energy than ladle-based systems for melt transfer and delivery. They are also incredibly reliable, with a proven uptime up to 98%.
No wonder over 5,000 Westomat dosing furnaces are in operation globally.

Key Advantages of Westomat
Protect the melt
- Sub-surface metal delivery
- Hermetic seal
- Overhead SiC heating
- Integrated holding and dosing
Westomat's airtight, closed system minimizes oxidation and heat loss while preserving melt quality. Sub-surface metal transfer and overhead SiC heating deliver clean molten aluminum with metal yields of up to 99.04%.
Deliver every dose accurately
- ProDos4 control platform
- Pressure based dosing with Top-Stop
Controlled overpressure keeps the riser tube continuously filled, enabling precise, repeatable dosing on demand. ProDos®4 provides real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and calibration tools to optimize performance and ensure consistent casting quality.
Monitor and optimize refilling
- Compatible with Monitizer | REFILL MONITOR
Monitizer | REFILL MONITOR, provides real-time visibility of refill status and requirements for each connected Westomat furnace. This helps operators plan refilling more effectively, optimise melt logistics and reduce the risk of unnecessary production interruptions.
Is a Westomat furnace suitable for your foundry or production plant?
If you cast parts in light metal, yes.
Whether using high pressure die casting, gravity die casting or green sand machines, Westomat furnaces are used by foundries and OEMs around the world for producing aluminum components of all shapes and sizes. From large structural components for automotive, new energy vehicles (NEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs), to kitchen appliances and electrical components.
Applications
