JOEST delivered the complete vibrating machines to Trakya Dokum’s new smart foundry in Turkey. The plant is designed for the production of various automotive cast iron parts in a vertical flaskless molding line.
The molding line is a DISA 270A; mold dimensions 950 mm x 700 mm, operated at 400 moulds/hour, 150 t/h sand throughput in average, 12 t/h liquid metal in average with inductotherm dual track melting furnace.
After the SBC (Synchronized Belt Conveyor), the molds dump on a reversible conveyor and pass on a shakeout with adjustable frequency and adjustable vibrating angle directly. This soft handling track is for fragile parts which cannot be processed in a rotating drum.
The main track directly connects end of molding line SBC, shotblast machine, grinding area and melting shop in a straight way. After the SBC, the molds dump on a reversible conveyor and pass to a 25 m inclined linear sand/casting conveyor and a 90° curve which follows this conveyor. Conveying the parts on such a long distance together with the sand allows heat dissipation from the castings to the surrounding sand mass flow.
This conveyor arrangement is followed by a rotating drum without any grids and a shakeout with adjustable frequency and adjustable vibrating angle in order to clean the casting surface from sand, reducing sand lump size, and finally draining the dissolved sand through the grids.
After the shakeout, the castings pass on a primary sorting conveyor for removing the downsprue, runner and riser before they enter the DISA CT shotblast machine.
The shotblast machine is followed by a secondary sorting conveyor. Castings are separated from return scrap; the castings are conveyed to the grinding area and the return scrap is processed in a hydraulic V-jaw breaker in order to reduce the size. After this machine, the return scrap is conveyed directly back to the charging plant.
#JOESTEAM Dr. Fabian Westbrink Dr. Westbrink, tell us about yourself. My introduction is brief, probably in part because my CV is not particularly long and rather straightforward. I am Fabian Westbrink, 33 years old, born in a suburb of Warendorf and have now been living in Münster for some time. The foundation for my career…

The JOEST group, based in Duelmen, Germany a worldwide leading supplier of machines and solutions for bulk material handling with over 1000 employees, is taking over Mogensen GmbH & Co. KG in Wedel, as well as Fredrik Mogensen AB based in Hjo, Sweden, and Allgaier Mogensen S.L.U. in Madrid.
To kick off the pre-Christmas season with our almost 450 employees, all it takes is a bit of decoration, Christmas music, and good spirits! With bratwurst, cookies and punch, the entire #JOESTeam celebrated a small Christmas party over lunch time
JOEST vibrating screens are essential equipment for classifying and dewatering contaminated soil. Four vibrating screens were specifically designed for our long-time Belgian customer. In addition to the three dedicated dewatering screens, a two-deck screen for classifying and dewatering was also delivered earlier this year. A unique feature is the upper deck, which has various inclinations. These different inclinations ranging from 5 to 0 degrees have a positive impact on the final screening outcome. With steep throw angles and high accelerations, very low residual moisture levels are achieved. Another crucial aspect is the special PU screen panels that contribute to efficiently dewatering the soil and achieving the desired classification and dewatering effects.
