Componenta has decided to invest in <link _top>induction melting furnaces in the <link _top external-link-new-window>
Orhangazi foundry to guarantee efficiency of <link _top>melting and sufficient <link _top>molten metal at the same time when the environmental load caused by <link _top>melting reduces. The current two <link _top>arc furnaces will be replaced by a dual track <link _top>induction furnace.
The investment of EUR 2 million in a new <link _top>induction furnace of the newest technology brings both economical and environmental benefits by improving operational efficiency, reducing energy usage and operating costs and decreasing emissions into the air clearly below the levels required by the legislation and authorities.
The <link _top>melting capacity will not change but amount of dust emitted to the environment will decrease by 60% which is also in line with Componenta's strategy on protection of environment and best use of energy sources.
The furnace investment is part of the total production capacity increasing investments which are ongoing in the <link _top external-link-new-window>Orhangazi foundry. The production capacity will be increased by 40,000 ton to 180,000 ton/year by investments in <link _top>melting, <link _top>moulding, and <link _top>core making to improve the production flow and remove ”bottle necks”. After the renovation the biggest <link _top>moulding line in the Orhangazi <link _top>foundry is the most modern line in Europe.
