| Increased
Productivity |
|
Buttom pouring is designed for continuos operation, there
are no production interruptions
from waiting for iron.
With FORCEpour, the mold line cycle time can be reduced,
increasing productivity up to
15%.
By producing less scrap, more good castings can be shipped,
utilizing the same
manpower. |
|
| Increased
Quality |
|
Keeping the pour cup full throughout the pour reduces
slag inclusions, by floating the slag
on top of the iron.
Automated buttom pouring allows for consistent and repeatable
pouring, reducing the process
variation.
pourTECH prevent pouring without inoculation. |
|
| Increased
Yield |
|
By reducing scrap and eliminating over pours, less iron
need to be re-melted, resulting in
lower energy and alloy cost.
By reducing the requirement for re-melting of return iron,
the existing melting capacity is
used to produce more good castings, without adding any
overhead. |
|
| Decreased
Labor |
|
pourTECH control is providing fully automatic pouring
functions by closed loop circuit which
will free the pouring operator in the foundry. |
|
| Increased
Labor Safety |
|
By eliminating hand-pour operations, the danger of pouring
molten metal is eliminated.
The operator can be completely removed from the mold,
reducing the risk of exposure to
both the molten metal and the dust and smoke in that area. |
|
| Networking
Capabilities |
|
The networking capabilities of the pourTECH system allows
it to be networked to the plant
mainframe, allowing anyone in the plant to get production
information from the line. |
