Elmet has developed the new “Cast” variant of its TOP 7000 precision dosing system, specifically for the decisive requirements of casting, coating, and manual molding applications. The system is suitable for processing from 20- or 200-liter drums (55- or 5-gallon drums) and is characterized by its particularly high precision and process stability.

Elmet’s new TOP 7000 Cast dosing system.

At MD&M West in Anaheim, USA, Elmet will present the new TOP 7000 Cast dosing system to the public for the first time, from February 3-5, 2026.

Constant and stable operation

The system, which was developed specifically for casting applications, is based on Elmet's high-performance TOP 7000 Pro model and combines a constant volume flow with a stable mixing ratio.

Up to five freely configurable ramp profiles ensure precise and reliable filling processes. Freely selectable shutdown criteria, such as time, volume, filling pressure, or an external start/stop signal, enable flexible adaptation to different casting processes.

Optionally, stored recipes can be called up within seconds via QR code recipe management. This saves time and prevents incorrect settings. In addition, up to six additives can be mixed into the optimally mixed base material with an accuracy of +/- 0.01%.

Drum changes can be carried out from three sides and are fully automatic from the drum edge. It takes less than five minutes for a pair of 200-liter drums, enabling a quick restart. Fully automatic venting ensures consistent process conditions with every change.

The intuitive software and self-learning control system, which automatically adapts to the conveying behavior of the material, reduce operating costs and increase process reliability. Conveying capacities of more than five liters per minute, depending on viscosity, enable short cycle times.

The TOP 7000 Cast meets the requirements of EN ISO 13849-1 and is CE, RoHS, and UL compliant. It is designed for all standard materials, flame-retardant materials, HVI materials, oil-resistant compounds, medical materials, and other special materials. The processable viscosity range extends from 0.001 Pa to 3,000 Pa.

For wide range of industrial applications

Typical applications for TOP 7000 Cast, which place high demands on precision, material homogeneity, and reproducible filling processes, include direct filling (casting) of products for high- and medium-voltage applications such as insulators (HVI) and composite hollow core insulators, as well as cable joints.

Other applications include manual molding of medical products such as manifolds (distributors for liquids and gases), prosthetic liners, and medical cushions (orthopedic cushions), with or without a dispensing gun.

In the areas of fabric and paper release coating as well as cable sheathing, where uniform, controlled material application is required, the TOP 7000 Cast scores with its continuous, stable volume flow, even with significant viscosity differences.
