Technology:
Ancast utilizes high speed automated green sand moulding for
production of castings. Small castings (0.5 to 40 lbs.) are
produced on two 2016 B - P Matchblowmatics and are poured on
Continumatic mould handling systems. Medium size castings (up to
100 lbs.) Are produced on a Hunter HMP 20E with a Vulcan Truflo
mould handling system.
Large castings (up to 300 lbs.) Are produced on a Hunter HMP32E
moulding machine and are poured on a rotary turntable.
Ancast melts with three coreless induction furnaces - two six
ton capacity 1500 kW line frequency units and one six ton
capacity 3000 kW variable frequency unit. Melting capacity is
approximately 200 tons per day.
These furnaces are charged by a traveling car charging system
with charge materials preheated by a 12 million BTU down fired
preheater. Ductile iron treatment is carried out in enclosed
tundish ladles.
Since 1994 the majority of cores have been produced on two
Laempe cold box core centres for production of
cores from ounces to over 60 lbs.
The Laempe core centre represents the pinnacle of core
production technology. The fully computerized machines provide
powerful operator interface and control to configure the core
centre and displays an instruction sheet on how to mount the
tooling. Vacuum is used to secure the tooling to the clamping
cylinders and resin chemistry selection and composition is set
by the computer.
Tooling can be constructed from a wide range of materials such
as wood, plastic, aluminum or cast iron. Tooling modifications
are simple and are usually done utilizing plastic. The Laempe is
not restricted to vertical parting only, in fact up to six piece
core boxes can be run easily. This flexibility gives the casting
designer a whole new set of options to work with.
