Operating experiences with unheated pouring systems

摘要

The expectations placed in the Pouromat and Laserpour have been fulfilled. Casting output has been significantly increased through level controlled pouring with precision positioning. System conditioned waiting times and the associated cycle time losses at the moulding plant were almost totally eliminated. The necessary running and gating adaptations as a result of the conversion were quickly and simply implemented. After almost two years of operation it has been found that, whilst the Pouromat may not have answered all the dreams of foundrymen, only few remain unfulfilled.
