•   Charge-up / Basis for Perfect Castings Scrap for us is not waste but precious rough material. For the sake of the environment we almost use 100 % of it. In Europe we dispose of the biggest melting unit which we control by a fuzzy cupola system especially designed by EB. Monitoring of all important data which today can be measured in the melting and casting area for us is a daily routine. This is our technical support to produce perfect castings. Our automatic cupola charge has an output of 1,600 tons molten iron every day.

•   Melting 90 tons per hour in a hot wind cupola designed to regain heat and to save energy. By alloying and inoculating any castable iron material we cast our cyinderblocks with safe material specification which meet all customer requirements.

•   Moulds in sand Sand is a natural product. And as we push ecological items we only use green sand which is being constantly recycled in a closed circuit when casting in lost foams. This is a great contribution to environmental protection. Here like in many other areas we are the first to have the ideas and we pave the way for other companies.

•   Mould Line 280 moulds per hour (approx. 6,500 moulds every day) with either two or four in a box sum up to 20,000 castings a day on one of the biggest mould lines worlwide. A second moulding line enables us to flexibly produce prototypes from the start to volume production. It also builds the basis to respond to our customers’ requirements for special lots.

•   Core Production More than 120,000 cores are produced daily in hot- and coldbox. One speciality is the shooting, assembling and fitting of the cores synchronised in the rhythm of the moulding line.

•   Fettling After shake-out our fettling lines ensure a fully-automatic, combined de-coring and shotblasting in closed systems without being manually handled. Other operational processes like coating, spotfacing of blasting can be integrated into the fettling line.
