Although revolutionary, the Cold Box process has seldom evolved in the first two decades since it's creation in the mid-1970s. This slow progress has sometimes made the process inefficient inside foundries, causing many issues for foundrymen around the world, such as:
Thanks to our international partnership with MAGMA®, worldwide leader on simulation softwares for casting, we digitally test a number of layouts for our clients' molds and cores in order to establish the most optimal design for production. Thus, we are able to predict and prevent eventual issues that could occur while casting, and also optimize the sand / metal ratio needed during their manufacturing.
Moreover, the simulations allow us to ascertain the quality and efficiency of stackmolding per individual layout, which allows for savings in raw materials as well as increased productivity.
All our equipment has advanced and ultra-precise sensors for process monitoring, which collect data on many key factors related to our equipment's day-to-day performance and operation.
We analise this data along with our clients in order to understand which factors may be causing problems, which are then fixed by adjusting internal settings in our machines' production recipes, and by working to limit the influence of any possible environmental factors detected by our sensors. Thus, we increase overall process efficiency and limit problems on our clients' core and molds, leading to higher quality castings and cost reductions.
