Advantages low pressure process Low production costs due to: low weight feeding system, favourable proportion of casting metal weight to casting weight low service expense reduced costs for melting and holding little refuse less deflagrated metal

Advantages low pressure process High material quality due to: controlled solidification, thus high pressure tightness, feeding under light over-pressure with molten metal of constant temperature less casting defects because of short flow line and low turbulance metal flow with precise velocity regulation for mold filling pore free structure, because of favourable metallurgical standards in closed furnace system (no gas absorption)

Advantages low pressure process Higher productivity due to: one man operation of several units simultaneously usage of multiple permanent molds mostly automatic sequence of operations including casting removal

Advantages low pressure process Further advantages due to: possible employment of not easily castable alloys possibility to quench and temper and weld castings possibility of surface treatment use of complicated sand cores
