Technology
Melting/ Melting shop
Two EGES 3 MW medium frequency induction MELT & HOLD melting furnaces (volume 2 x 4 tons, melting output of 6.1 tons per hour).
Material charging is secured using a vibration cart common for both furnaces.
Moulding
Frameless moulding line DISAMATIC 2013 LP/PLC-B, vertical parting line, size of sand moulds 535 x 650 x 120–360 mm.
Technical capacity up to 300 moulds per hour based on the type of casting and presence of cores; sand mixture is prepared in 2 mixers with a capacity of 1–1.2 tons, reversible sand cooling is used.
DISA DTC-2 blasting machine with polygonal drum.
Production of cores
4 Schalco (hot box) machines (we purchase the core mixture).
Cast materials
EN GJL 150, EN GJL 200, EN GJL 250, EN GJL 300
EN GJS 400-12, EN GJS 500-7, EN GJS 600-3, EN GJS 700-2
Optimum weight of castings is 0.5 – 20 kg. Maximum casting size is limited by mould dimensions.
Technical specifications for cooperation
Data processing: 3D documentation.
Pattern shop: Drawing documentation, production of epoxy and metal patterns (core boxes) based on the provided standard or 3D data.
Pattern production: Mostly outsourced, MOTOR JIKOV Slévárna takes care of layout and gating system, inlet simulation outsourced if required.
Quality control of material according to the process flow
An optical emission spectrometer Q4 TASSMAN from Bruker-Elemental is used directly at the smelting furnace where chemical analysis of each smelting process is carried out. Samples are subsequently taken from each smelting procedure according to internal procedures or according to customer requirements, where sampling castings are tested in the laboratory for metallurgical and mechanical properties.
Capabilities and laboratory equipment
Chemical analysis:
optical emission spectrometer SPECTROMAX, SPECTRO A.I. Kleve.
Metallographic examination / macrostructure and microstructure of the material: grinding preparation for the semi-automatic Buehler grinder/polisher.
