Present hectic times do not allow the foundrymen to test various modifications of gating system in real production due to lack of time and efficiency of production phase. When testing of tens or hundreds of modifications is needed, simulation software MAGMA5 and its optimization procedure comes into place. This article deals with choosing the best design of gating system which will ensure the filling of the sprue as soon as possible together with possible shortening of pouring time on Disamatic line. Soonest filling of the sprue will ensure that no air is entraped in the molten metal which is entering the cavity of the mold and no air bubbles would occur in the final casting after pouring. With this goal achieved, foundry can secure the production of castings. There is a big chance chance to decrease the pouring time of the mold, which will make the production more effective.
