INDUSTRY NEWS/行业新闻 Perfectly matched plant – and dust-free too The DISAMATIC D3 vertical moulding machine lies at the heart of the moulding line and combines high speed with exceptional yield and quality. Throughput is blisteringly fast: up to 485 moulds per hour with core setting and 555 moulds per hour without, all with a mould misalignment of less than 0.01 mm. After cooling and shake-out, Wheelabrator’s DT14-450 rocker-barrel-type shot blasting machine cleans the castings by gently tumbling parts in through-feed operation. Fully automated like the rest of the production equipment and working continuously, its small footprint helps it fit easily onto the tightly-packed factory floor. DT shot blast machines require no loading or unloading and cope easily with changing parts, types or volumes. Shot blasting operations are dust-free, like all the new foundry’s work areas. Part of the integrated complete green sand solution, the design embraces every piece of plant to effectively improve overall dust removal performance and helps Dianzhan meet the increasingly stringent environmental requirements facing iron foundries. Condensation is a major challenge in dust removal: if not handled in time, it can easily paralyse the production line. The integrated plant design tackles condensation at every stage of the casting process. For example, DISA’s new heating furnace employs heating and insulation treatment within the parts of the sand treatment system with high levels of moisture.
Result: Smooth transition to full production Implemented rapidly and working to specification, the complete green sand solution is reliable, easy to maintain and delivers consistent quality. As the foundry plant ramped up production in the first half of 2019, the scrap rate remained below 1% and the integrated plant’s monthly output quickly reached 1,000 tons. The new Jiujiang plant is now well on the way to helping Dianzhan triple its annual production volume. Mr. Chien Chuan Lin, Production Manager at Dianzhan, comments: “When we started to plan this project with DISA, we had four main targets. We wanted to improve the utilization of the workshop, minimize the logistical distances involved and build a fully-automated line that was also very energy-efficient. After running at full operating status for the last few months, we can confirm that all four of these targets have been achieved at our Jiujiang plant.” ■
工厂布局合理，环保无尘 DISAMATIC D3垂直造型机位于造型线核心位置，不 仅速度高，而且具备出色的产量和质量。产量高：每小时 可生产多达485个带芯铸型或555个无芯铸型，且铸型偏 差均小于0.1毫米。冷却并落砂后，维尔贝莱特DT14-450 连续通过式滚筒抛丸机在轻轻翻滚零件，对铸件进行清 理。与其他生产设备一样，该设备全自动运行，可连续 工作，并且其占地面积小，可轻松安装到空间有限的车 间中。DT抛丸机不需要上下料，并可轻松处理不同类型 或体积的零件。 与所有新铸造厂的工作区域一样，抛丸操运行是防尘 的。该设计是黏土砂整体铸造解决方案的一部分，与工 厂各个工部工艺无缝连接，可有效提高整体除尘性能， 帮助典展公司满足铸铁厂面临的日益严苛的环境要求。 冷凝是除尘的主要挑战：如果处理不及时，很容易导致 生产线瘫痪。集成式工厂设计解决了铸造过程中每个阶 段的冷凝问题。例如，迪砂的新型加热炉在湿度高的砂 处理系统部件内采用了加热和隔离处理。
结果：平稳过渡到全面投产 迪砂黏土砂整体铸造解决方案实施迅速且运行符合规 范，可靠、易维护、质量稳定。2019年上半年，该铸造 厂提高了产量，废品率一直保持在1%以下，整个工厂的 月产量迅速提升到1,000吨。这座新建的九江工厂的卓越 表现令典展公司的年产量达到了以前的3倍。 典展公司生产经理林建全先生说：“一开始与迪砂 计划这个项目时，我们有四个主要目标。我们希望提 高车间的利用率，最大限度缩短物流距离，建设一条非 常节能的全自动生产线。在过去几个月以完全运行状态 运行之后，我们可以确认九江工厂已经实现了所有这四 个目标。” ■
