Located in the heart of Northern California's Sonoma wine country, Rayteq manufactures advanced, energy-saving electric melting furnaces for the light metal casting industries, writes and supplies software that effectively reduces utility demand charges, and produces new, high power density heating elements for higher melting rates and longer operating life.
Rayteq LLC's President & CEO is Frank B. Smith, founder and former owner of Dynarad Corporation*. Matthew Smith is our Executive Vice President and Engineering Manager and his responsibilities include software development, digital electronics design, and 3D modeling.
Are you considering purchasing gas-fired melting or holding furnaces because of the current low cost of natural gas? Early in his career, at the University of California at Berkeley's Department of Mechanical Engineering, the author participated in fascinating studies examining the effects of metal casting variables on light metal casting quality. These studies were privately funded by several well-known U.S. aerospace foundries that were looking for ways to consistently obtain stronger, better castings.
