Currently, casting foundries mainly employ the polyurethane cold-box process to manufacture cores while inorganic core-making processes are gaining popularity. During the cold-box process, the reaction and the accelerated curing of the core are set off through the addition of a catalyst mixed with a carrier medium. In inorganic core-making, however, this curing process is replaced by heating and purging with hot air, which causes water to evaporate and moisture to escape from the core box. It...

The decisive factors for placing the order were the high safety performance and the intelligent technology installed in the ABP systems, combined with more environmentally friendly operation. The two induction furnace plants with TWIN-POWER® energy supply were delivered to Shandong Himile Mechanical...

Metal consumer goods are the world record holders of the recycling economy. Refounding turns steel and aluminium scrap into high-quality secondary raw materials. Recycling has a positive impact on the environment and conserves natural raw material resources. The resource and energy efficient use of scrap in foundries and steel mills is a significant topic in metallurgical plant engineering. Exhibitors will present trends and developments at METEC and GIFA as well as NEWCAST and THERMPROCESS at...

Driven by the high development pressure on automobile manufacturers and suppliers, lightweight construction has been gaining more and more importance in this industry for several years now. Aluminium is regarded as one of the most important materials for achieving the desired weight reduction. Even before the trend towards e-mobility, the proportion of aluminium per car increased rapidly, so that an average of around 140 kg is currently used per vehicle, and the trend is rising. In order to be...

Thinking outside the box is worthwhile. EIRICH mixers are increasingly being fitted with torque motors for good reasons: They consume significantly less energy than conventional asynchronous motors. Torque motors also cause lower operating costs and run at significantly lower noise levels. Does an EIRICH mixer with torque drive also pay off for customers in the foundry industry? Johannes Oswald and Wolfgang Wörner have not the slightest doubt. When and why did the development of torque motors...

With regular maintenance, production facilities in foundries reach an average service life of 30 to 40 years. During this period, several generation changes have been made in the field of control and power technology, such as the use of PLC process control technology and converter technology.In times of increasing price pressure on foundries, it is important to exploit all potential for cost savings. As part of the modernization of switchgears, a large number of improvements can therefore be...

Data is generated in foundries in disparate locations and sources. There are different analogue as well as digital loggers which stand independently at their host-machine and locations churning out reams of data which passes into oblivion as most of it remains uncaptured; or logged and forgotten, or deleted automatically as soon as expiry date/capacity is reached. Many other data points exist which are often manually recorded and sometimes transferred to general electronic formats. As each...
