A Hot Top Billet Caster is an advanced continuous casting machine designed for producing high-quality aluminium billets, copper billets, alloy billets, and other non-ferrous metal billets with exceptional surface finish and internal soundness.

This system uses a hot-top casting technique that minimizes metal turbulence, reduces shrinkage, and ensures uniform billet quality from start to finish.

At M. G. Furnaces, we manufacture state-of-the-art Hot Top Billet Casters engineered for superior casting performance, high productivity, and long-term reliability—trusted by extrusion plants, alloy manufacturers, and metal processing industries worldwide.

What is a Hot Top Billet Caster?

A Hot Top Billet Caster is a vertical direct-chill (VDC) casting machine where molten metal is fed through a “hot-top” insulated chamber.

This hot-top regulates the temperature of the metal during the initial solidification, ensuring smooth, stable, and defect-free billet formation.

It is widely used for casting billets of:

• Aluminium
• Aluminium alloys
• Copper
• Brass
• Bronze
• Other non-ferrous alloys
