Foundry Plants, Casting Machines and Pouring Equipment

There are many different casting processes: In addition to mould casting, which is used most frequently, there is also casting into ingots or slabs, ingot casting and continuous casting. In mould casting, a distinction is made between several types of mould filling: gravity casting, centrifugal casting and die casting, in which melt is pressed into the mould by piston pressure.

Casting process simulation is regarded as the most significant innovation in foundry technology of the last 50 years. In the meantime, digital (software-based) simulation supports the user in the design of the component, the definition of melting practice and casting technology, from model making and mould production to heat treatment and post-processing. Thus, costs can be consistently saved throughout the entire production chain.
