Overview
McConway & Torley had many issues with its shakeout operation, which revolved around two older, two-mass natural-frequency shakeouts. The foundry operation was investing a lot of money and time to replace specific parts of their old shakeout, which resulted in loss of production time. McConway & Torley consulted with Carrier Vibrating Equipment for their expertise in foundry operations.
Herausforderung
McConway & Torley had two shakeout machines in their operation. The first machine was installed to knock the molds out of the flasks but it was worn out and costing them money in excessive replacement part costs. The second machine was designed for bulk sand removal designed to stop the flow of castings, however, it was creating more sand removal. The managers at McConway & Torley realized they needed to replace the out-of-date shakeout machines with a more modern and efficient shakeout system. Randy Schudalla, plant manager, sought a quote for a new shakeout system from Carrier Vibrating Equipment.
Lösung
Carrier proposed a solution that addressed the issues with both shakeout machines, offering mechanical and process advantages: Carrier’s patented Delta-Phase® shakeout.
