Protective material
Operator safety is an essential factor in any centrifugal casting process. When handling molds, alloys, mold holders, furnaces, vulcanizing presses, and hot metal parts, it is essential to have appropriate protective equipment to help reduce risks and improve working conditions.

At CONIEX, we provide our customers with high-quality protective gear, specially selected for operators and users involved in centrifugal casting and mold vulcanization processes. These safety items are designed to provide protection, comfort, and durability during routine workshop tasks.
The use of appropriate personal protective equipment helps prevent potential burns, metal splashes, accidental contact with heat, and other risks associated with handling high-temperature materials.
Leather apron
A leather apron is an essential piece of equipment for protecting the operator from possible molten metal splashes and accidental contact during the work process.
Thanks to leather’s natural durability, this type of protection helps cover sensitive areas of the body and provides an additional barrier against sparks, hot particles, and spatter. Its use is especially recommended during pouring operations, when handling hot parts, and when working near the foundry area.
Kevlar Gloves
Kevlar gloves offer high heat resistance while maintaining excellent comfort. They are lightweight, flexible, and allow for good hand mobility, making it easier to handle tools, mold holders, and process components.
They are mainly used to remove the mold holder from the vulcanizing press and to perform operations in which the operator needs protection from heat without sacrificing precision or dexterity.
Safety and best practices in centrifugal casting
In addition to using suitable protective equipment, it is important to apply good working practices, keep the production area organised, and properly train the operators involved in the process.
