KLANN Anlagentechnik GmbH is specialized in core shop equipment for the fitting and faucet industry provides high productive core shooters, so called core belters, with machine cycle times down to 5 seconds. The newest development, in cooperation with a well-known fitting manufacturer, is a horizontal core shooter for the hot-box process. Compared to standard horizontal core shooters the new P8 SA has a machine cycle time of only 8 seconds (standard > 15 sec.). Besides core shooters the company supplies core sand processing and distribution systems up to turn-key core shop.

The pneumatic conveyor SP-HL was particularly conceived for the transport of bulk material such as foundry sands. KLEIN Anlagenbau AG is going to exhibit at the GIFA a tandem installation of the SP-HL, i. e. two conveyors feed one conveying pipe. With tandem installations conveying capacities of up to 20 t/h can be achieved. Apart from conveyors for foundry sands, KLEIN Anlagenbau AG also supplies pneumatic conveying systems for any other material that needs to be pneumatically transported in a foundry, such as bentonite, coal dust, filter dust, various additives etc.

Today, foundries are called upon to produce disc brakes with a growing variety of product geometrics and air vent complexity. This leads to a high demand in flexibility for automated inspection technology. The DISC-INSPECTOR has a long history of proven performance and has now been enhanced to an even higher degree of flexibility. The combination of the highly accurate vent inspection, the latest 3D-acquition technique for surface inspection coupled with a flexible handling and positioning system, ensures the pole position for modern brake disc foundries in order to meet the market demands.

[01/03/2012]

Since many years aerogels are especially developed for foundry applications at the German Aerospace Center. The newest developments are AeroAdditives nanostructured aerogels in granular form. The addition of 0.5 up to 5 vol.-% of AeroAdditves to any common sand-binder system leads without any further changes to enormous improvements of the cast part quality by unchanged quality of the sand cores. The positive effects are caused by an enhanced gas permeability of the sand cores and an extremely high absorption potential for casting gases by aerogels. Smooth surfaces with reduced roughness are pointed out. AeroAdditives open possibilities of cast part design which will give new impulses.
