Information

Since 1962 F.lli Mazzon S.p.A. has been a reliable partner in more than 30 countries as for no-bake systems (furanic, phenolic, alkyd and polyurethane), cold-box and hot-box binders, insulating refractory coatings in alcohol and water, additives, glues, releasing agents and many other chemicals.

F.lli Mazzon has been operating since 1997 with a certified quality system based on UNI EN ISO 9001:2008 rules. In 2012 our safety system was certified according to OHSAS 18001:2007 rules and in 2015 the company implemented  ISO 14001 environmental certification.

F.lli Mazzon has recently been equipped with brand new chemical reactors: the company is now able to produce higher quality resins at competitive prices in shorter times. Continuous improvement of plants and equipment, such as our huge investment for the reactor, are constantly planned in order to cope with a competitive and demanding global market.

Information

Best known for its continuous mixer technology, UK-based Foundry Machinery & Spares Ltd specialises in the full 3D design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of No-Bake Foundry equipment. This successful family owned, and managed business currently enjoys the strongest order book ever as well as expanding sales opportunities throughout the world.

Tony Perkins has been developing equipment for the foundry industry since 1980, including the last 20 years with son, Craig. They Created Foundry Machinery & Spares Ltd (FMS) in 1999, a business that has grown exponentially in the intervening period, developing, manufacturing and selling an extensive range of No-Bake equipment for the chemically-bonded sand Foundries. The product range includes sand mixers, mould handling equipment including the  TRANSTEK Rapid mould making technology (boasting 25% faster speeds than comparable fast loop systems while achieving a 60% reduction in total foot print area), core making,  casting and cooling devices and reclamation equipment (mechanical and Thermal),  as well as chemical storage and distribution systems.

FMS has recently updated its digital brochure making it “more accessible and usable for our representatives and customers while being available for download on our updated website”, The digit brochure is a great tool, showcasing the high-quality range as well as previously completed projects. Spare parts are a highly important part of the business, especially as equipment is exported all over the world, “it is important to us to react and support our customers quickly and effectively, to accommodate this, we have substantially increased consignment stock allowing orders to be satisfied within a matter of days” says Dan Sullivan (Sales manager).Year on year the customer base grows, 2017 has been the highest to date both domestically and internationally. The volume of recommendations and repeat business generated are further positive signs of the company’s position in the no-bake equipment marketplace.

Products & Services

“The last few years have witnessed a number of important changes to the sand mixing technology at many foundries, especially with respect to process control” Craig Perkins suggests. In particular, this has involved the increased adoption of greater chemical pumping accuracy with respect to dosing, temperature blending and box filling, as well as the accurate logging of moulding boxes etc.  

“Customers are investing increasingly in the latest technology to improve production efficiencies and calling upon FMS to assist with the realisation of these efforts.” In many instances, foundries approach the UK based supplier for solutions to specific materials handling issues, a design process which often results in the involvement of our 3D design team creating models to simulate the operating procedure and benefits of the proposed solution. In other cases, FMS has devised improvements to conventional sand handling procedures, based on long-term experience in the industry. “spending so much time on site, we have the opportunity to observe equipment in operation, which in turn stimulates the creation of process efficiency improvements and ideas for financial savings.” This has included temperature blending innovation which provides savings in chemicals, with short payback times.

FMS is constantly striving to improve and innovative with leading technology to its production portfolio be it via research and development or quality contacts. A more recent example of this would be the partnership between FMS and TRANSTEK, an experienced company who specialise in Mould handling, TRANSTEK came up with an innovative design for mould production with their RAPID.  The RAPID moulding line is a vertical pattern loop system. This brings the advantage of very small foot-print area. Furthermore, since the elevators can store 2 bolsters at the same time, the length of the system is reduced by the length of one station. The foot print area saving is up to 60% when compared to any horizontal loop system. RAPID vertical loop provides about 20-30 seconds faster cycle times than any conventional loop systems especially with short filling time systems, thanks to its continuous elevators. They operate in one direction only so that the precious return and eject-reload transfer times are saved.

FMS holds the worldwide rights to Transtek RAPID system, with a number of units working today and more in production, they know the RAPID technology will be the perfect solution for many Foundries requirements.

Turnkey Services 

The provision of turnkey projects is an increasingly important part of the FMS service, especially for those clients who prefer equipment to be fully designed, built, delivered, installed and commissioned as a complete package. In many instances this also includes for the provisions of an onsite support and training presence for the efficient use of the latest No-bake technology. This turnkey approach has been adopted in a number of recent projects, one that stands out is a full thermal reclamation plant for a very well-respected Aluminium Foundry in France. FMS were able to improve the design of their thermal reclamation unit adding many process benefits while delivery a 100% turnkey installation.
