More efficient measuring processes
Personnel savings in the moulding sand treatment
More detailed documentation
Seamless process tracking by recording all measurement values
Task
Bentonite-bonded moulding material is to be processed for the moulding facilities with reproducible, consistent values for the compressibility and mould stability.
Approach
Samples are taken from the running mixing process and automatically used to determine compressibility and mould stability. These measured values will then be the parameters for water addition and bentonite dosing.
Solution
The moulding sand control system Rotocontrol RTC 107 gathers a sample quantity from the running mixing process. With the automatic measurement of the compressibility, the mould stability and the temperature, the currently needed amount of water is determined and subsequently added. For the bentonite requirements, a formula adjustment takes place. By means of the temperature measurement, the expected evaporation is determined and compensated by adding of water. Furthermore, all relevant data are saved and displayed online. Due to long-term storage, they will be available for future analysis.
The RTC is a Scoval-Fondarc-Product.
