The core production department is equipped for shell molding, inorganic and cleantech processes with completely automated, highly efficient machinery.
Shell moulding
The machine park is diversified to satisfy the need to produce parts with weights varying from 0.1kg to 15kg and, depending on requirements, able to inject sand horizontally and vertically, both from the top and the bottom, to obtain a better result for complex parts.
The core department has a production capacity of 120,000 parts/month, distributed over three shifts a day; various types of cores can be produced: brake pads, manifolds, water/oil shafts for cylinder heads, timing cases, gear boxes, differentials, pumps, etc.
Inorganic
In the continuous search for solutions to meet the needs of foundries and sustainable development for the environment, we have recently expanded our fleet to be able to provide cores made with the new inorganic processes.
These new processes, already tested with great success on parts made of aluminum, brass and bronze, as compared to traditional processes have the following advantages:
- Zero environmental impact during molding and casting
- No gas development during casting
- Significant reduction of the pitch forming into the mold
- Increased resistance to erosion and penetration
- Greater cooling power compared to other processes
- Excellent dimensional stability and geometry during casting
- Reduction by 1/5 to 1/10 of the decoring time
CleanTech
Presented for the first time during the course of GIFA 2011 by Hüttenes Albertus France, the new organic CLEANTECH process, which we have the exclusive to the Italian territory, aims to supplant cold-box and hot-box processes for the production parts made of aluminum and brass.
The strengths of this new process can be summarized as:
- Excellent mechanical strength
- Low environmental impact during molding and casting
- Low gas development during casting
- Excellent reduction of the decoring time
