Best practices

What is spagless?

Spagless and capillary systems involve producing a mould which incorporates an internal tubing structure.
In the casting shop, low pressure compressed air (1-5 bars) is applied through the tubing network (for capillary system) and through holes (for spagless) after casting. This is to force out excess water from the mould replacing the long drying phase.
With this faster drying phase, the entire casting cycle is shorter and this drastically increases the number of castings made per day.

New technology

Multipressure (MP) technology

High performance plaster solution for both traditional and pressure castings.
Saint-Gobain Formula is continuosly working to improve mould life and skin forming time. Born from the progression of spagless and capillary processes combined with innovative formulations and testing methods, we are proud to launch Almod MP and AmphoreCast MP, solutions for sanitaryware casting.

One plaster suitable for both processes
Improved MC technology workability and casting rate.
Optimised dewatering according to air permeability control
Longer mould life
