Training is one of the key building blocks of success in a casting operation. Staff who are involved in casting molten aluminum should be well trained on the global guidelines for handling molten aluminum as well as how to efficiently and safely operate Wagstaff equipment before beginning to cast.  Training packages can be designed to suit any operation, and any level of workforce experience, and can be a combination of classroom and practical study.

Practical, hands-on training is a unique offering from Wagstaff and is included in every Wagstaff system purchase.  This training is delivered by a certified Wagstaff technical product trainer.
