Simple Solutions That Work! Issue 15

recipe. This minimizes operator set-up time and eliminates process parameter errors, speeding the time to quality core production. Eliminating pits saved the foundry enormous sums of money and avoided many problems with a high- water table. Clean up in the core area is now fast and safe! Plus, as the foundry’s core demands continue to grow, adding new pitless core machines is a very easy task. With a wide range of base machine frame sizes, blow capacities, and production configurations, these high production core machines can provide the best, no-compromise machine configuration for both your present and future core production requirements. In addition, the built-in modularity and flexibility of the base design means that your existing tooling can be utilized and special machine features can be easily integrated. The goals of this installation were to increase production while reducing manual intervention. In addition to meeting all of the goals, the core room operators appreciated that the equipment was designed for quick tooling changes. RFID, in addition to reducing operator set-up time, increased core quality by eliminating process errors. And, who doesn’t like an operation that eliminates the need for pits! Today’s cold box core machines offer you many options for increasing production that can grow, as your production grows. Contact: SCOTT SHAVER s_shaver@emi-inc.com CASE STUDIES 13
