Special: 30 years of CP+T International
“An active bridge for the exchange of information in the foundry industry.”
This is how Eberhard Möllmann (President of the German Foundrymen’s Association,
the former publisher of CP+T) described the task of the international
English-language periodical in the first issue, published in March 1985. A review
of 30 years: about 4,000 copies of each issue are delivered to foundries all
over the world, providing plenty of material for discussion: between foundries
with each other, of suppliers and foundries, and between people from different
cultures. Mission accomplished!
S. Geisweid: A milestone in steel foundry modernization
The old green sand molding system at the Promlit foundry in the Russian city of
Cheboksary has been replaced by a modern HWS molding machine. In order to
improve mold quality, as well as mold larger models and automatically change
them, the modernized plant uses the Seiatsu air flow press-molding process
instead of vibrating press molding.
B. Gottsauner: RFID for tracking batches and monitoring
steel quality
A foundry has optimized the composition of its melt material by using radio frequency
identification (RFID): the transport buckets for pig iron and scrap steel
are equipped with transponders that are detected by a UHF RFID reader at the
electric induction furnace. This results in increased process reliability, consistent
dosing accuracy, and complete batch tracking.
