The D3’s combination of astonishing speed, low scrap and high uptime made this incredible total possible. Located in Ma’anshan city, Anhui province, the moulding line currently outputs 3200 tons per month on average, with moulding speeds between 520 and 540 moulds per hour. Its scrap rate is around 2%, which is lower than the other lines operated by the foundry. “The uptime rate for the entire line is at…

Mit dieser Lösung werden die Teilprozesse des Formens und Gießens vollständig automatisiert und synchronisiert, während gleichzeitig wertvolle Prozessdaten erfasst werden. Die Kommunikation - von Maschine zu Maschine zwischen dem Form- und Gießprozess - wird durch die DISA Monitizer® CIM-Plattform gesteuert. "Die vollständig integrierte digitale Synchronisation von Formgebung und Gießen - das nahtlose…

In this interview, we delve into the innovative world of green sand moulding, a compelling alternative to traditional gravity and low-pressure diecasting methods. Ulla will shed light on the environmental advantages, cost-effectiveness, and unique capabilities of DISA's green sand moulding technology, addressing its role in modern manufacturing and how it's shaping a more sustainable and efficient future in…

Im Jahr 2006 erwarb Boose die Cornwall Aluminum Foundry in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, und modernisierte kurz nach der Umfirmierung in Boose Quality Castings im Jahr 2019 die Fertigungsprozesse vollständig. Joe, LeAnn und Brandon Boose übernahmen 2019 die Leitung des Werks, das nun als BQC Foundry firmiert und die vielen positiven Veränderungen in Bezug auf Ausrüstung, Struktur und Personal mit einem stolzen…

Established in November 2006, Letec specialises in casting automotive brake discs, brake drums, and automotive engine flywheel assemblies for customers in the mid- to high-end European market. With a total annual capacity of 45,000 tons, the foundry currently produces around 30,000 tons of castings each year. “The main reasons for choosing the DISAMATIC C3-X-350 was its high production efficiency and the…

After a digital transformation project, Huaxiang is now collecting, analysing and monitoring live process data with Monitizer® | DISCOVER, providing a complete digital view of its process in one system. Huaxiang is also optimising casting quality using Monitizer® | PRESCRIBE’s Artificial-Intelligence-driven analytics. During recent testing, Huaxiang reported excellent scrap reduction figures for several…

Three foundries recently upgraded their sand mixers with DISA’s SMC (Sand Multi Controller) as part of Equipment Modernisation Programmes (EMPs). More than 10 foundries have recently chosen this upgrade. Delivered by DISA, the EMPs aimed to improve sand mix quality and stability to deliver lower scrap and finishing costs. Adding an SMC enhances the performance of batch mixers made by DISA and other…

A foundry’s post-shakeout sand and casting temperatures plunged after upgrading its cooling drum to a DISACOOL design. DISA modified the foundry’s cooling drum as part of an Equipment Modernisation Programme (EMP). The foundry’s castings were previously far too hot as they left the cooling drum – around 250°C. The customer wanted the final casting temperature to be between 70 to 90°C to avoid damaging…

For the first time, foundries can trace every single casting they produce instead of relying on less accurate batch data. With DISA TAG, they can create an individual-casting-level view of their whole process. “Finding the root cause of scrap can be extremely difficult, making it hard to reduce quality-related costs,” said Per Larsen, Innovation Manager at DISA. “DISA TAG adds a unique ID to each casting…

With a 1.2% scrap rate, the DISA machine adds outstanding quality and high uptime to its blazing speed. The line is incredibly low maintenance, freeing up over 2 hours extra production time per day compared to the foundry’s previous moulding machine supplied by a DISA competitor. Impressed by its performance and reliability, Guangzhou Deshan is about to buy another DISAMATIC C3 to expand its annual…
