JOEST delivers special vibration table for german stainless-steel producer

#cooling, #sorting & #batchloading

JOEST delivered several types of machines from its product portfolio for castings for a customer‘s complete system. To simplify and enhance the original process of storing casting parts in boxes for the cooling process, a JOEST Casting Cooler was installed downstream the existing shakeout.

JOEST USA Special Charging Feeder

For foundry melt shops the challenges start at the beginning with charging cars. Generally used to provide scrap, virgin ore and alloys to the charge furnace, they must be designed around each customer’s particular type of materials, furnace interface and processes.

JOEST Spiral Crusher with Shakeout

Bosch Rexroth is modernizing its existing process of emptying die-casting molds by implementing a new casting-sand separation and recovery plant. Once the casts are freed from their molds, they are separated from the sand which is processed and reused. The task for JOEST was very complex. The focus was on the emptying process of the molds and to break down the sand and clean it. The sand is then returned to the casting process. On site, the machines will be placed in a space that was previously occupied by a furnace. A large chamber in which the furnace used to stand, connects the factory floor to the basement.

Four-way travelling JOEST Charging Vehicle

For the optimization of the foundry and to improve the production process, the Bosch Rexroth AG in “Lohr am Main” is adding a third furnace to its automatic charging system which currently features two furnaces. For this project, a new furnace platform is being built in the neighboring building. The task for JOEST was to find a solution, so that the existing feed equipment for the furnace Charging Vehicles could be reused. The vehicles are fed with metal scraps and additive materials needed for the melting process, both of which are bound to their original location.
