Dear Sir or Madam,

A very warm welcome to you with news from the Bright World of Metals and METEC-tradefair.com.

The quality of castings is the be-all and end-all of each and every foundry. However, the productivity of the plants should ideally be increased – after all, one must remain on a growth course. This is why March’s theme of the month deals with the question: Dosing furnaces or conventional ladle systems? Foundry operators are confronted with fundamental decisions when it comes to the modernisation or expansion of their plants. Find out more on how to maintain productivity and exploit potential.

Enjoy reading!

Topic of the Month

Maintain productivity – exploit potential

South Korean company Neoflam wanted to reduce costs and increase productivity when it opted to acquire a total of seven Westomat dosing furnaces from StrikoWestofen Asia instead of ladle systems.

Not only the significantly lower operating costs but also the easier setup and operation thanks to the new ProDos 3 control convinced the pots and pans manufacturer. Compared to the casting ladle system, dosing furnaces are characterised by higher availability and much lower oxide formation.
