A NEW FORM OF EFFICIENCY

that works at its core

THE NEXT STEP IN THE EVOLUTION OF INORGANIC SAND CORE DRYING

Up to 40 % energy savings, reduction of cycle time by up to 30 % and, for the first time, the possibility of real-time monitoring of the drying process of inorganic sand cores. Upgrade your existing sand core shooters with Advanced Core Solutions to optimize your inorganic sand core production by accelerating your sand core drying process.

We drive innovation for you and your sand core production.

Efficiency

We support you in increasing the efficiency of your inorganic sand core production. With the help of our patented technology, start-up and cycle times can be reduced by up to 30 %. The heat required for drying and hardening of inorganic sand cores is primarily generated where it is needed: directly inside the sand core, whereby energy usage can be reduced by up to 40 %.

Quality

Our technology uses the electrical conductivity of all inorganic binder systems for the electrical resistance based (Joule) heating of the sand core binder mixture. This enables homogeneous heating, drying and hardening across the entire sand core without shell formation and independent of the shape of your sand cores. Thus the quality of your sand cores can be increased.

Monitoring

The real-time recording of electrical characteristics during the drying of the inorganic sand cores enables complete digital monitoring of the inorganic sand core drying process for the first time. This way, conclusions can be drawn about the quality and properties of the manufactured sand cores, the tools and the overall process in your inorganic sand core production.
