Resumo

For today’s leading foundries, automation is key to reducing operational costs, allowing them to keep their competitive leads. The traditional way of tilt pouring iron is loosing ground to bottom pouring in high-speed production applications where yield and productivity is of essence. Bottom pouring systems have proved to be a solid base for automation, providing good control capabilities, and allowing the pouring to continue while metal is added to the pouring vessel, eliminating the changeover delays common with tilt pouring systems. There are a number of different pouring control systems available, and each system displays disadvantages that must be weighed against their benefits. However, there is always a solution that provides the best payback for each application. The future belongs to those who automate.
