Ancast utilizes high speed automated green sand moulding for production of castings. Small castings (0.5 to 40 lbs.) are produced on two 2016 B&P Matchblowmatics and are poured on Continumatic mould handling systems. Medium size castings (up to 100 lbs.) Are produced on a Hunter HMP 20E with a Vulcan Truflo mould handling system.
Large castings (up to 300 lbs.) Are produced on a Hunter HMP32E moulding machine and are poured on a rotary turntable.
Ancast melts with three coreless induction furnaces - two six ton capacity 1500 kW line frequency units and one six ton capacity 3000 kW variable frequency unit. Melting capacity is approximately 200 tons per day.
These furnaces are charged by a traveling car charging system with charge materials preheated by a 12 million BTU down fired preheater. Ductile iron treatment is carried out in enclosed tundish ladles.
Since 1994 the majority of cores have been produced on two Laempe cold box core centres for production of cores from ounces to over 60 lbs.
The Laempe core centre represents the pinnacle of core production technology. The fully computerized machines provide powerful operator interface and control to configure the core centre and displays an instruction sheet on how to mount the tooling. Vacuum is used to secure the tooling to the clamping cylinders and resin chemistry selection and composition is set by the computer.
Tooling can be constructed from a wide range of materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum or cast iron. Tooling modifications are simple and are usually done utilizing plastic. The Laempe is not restricted to vertical parting only, in fact up to six piece core boxes can be run easily. This flexibility gives the casting designer a whole new set of options to work with.
