OREANDA-NEWS. February 25, 2010. In iron casting of foundry plant one more mold line is transformed in technology of in-ladle inoculation of ductile iron production with usage of powder wire. Automatic mold line "DISAMATIC" № 1 became the fifth, where a new technological method is introduced. In the end of 2009 complex of in-ladle inoculation that was a dream for the specialist for a long time was launched in running. Introduction of new technology in production of some castings allows doubly enlarge casting yield.

S. Schnayderman, Project Manager:

- Italian companies "Progelta" and "Calamari" took part in creation of potting machine for the first "DISAMATIC" line. Systems of transporting, alignment of potting furnace and technological metal wares are made by the force of mechanical-repair department specialists of foundry plant. Potting machine is completely automatic; it is managed by industrial computer and is supplied by systems of telemetry and liquid iron.

Work with this complex in development mode showed its complete availability and an opportunity to get castings with steady property of ductile iron and to get maximum effect in cost reduction per one kilo of small castings.

The transformation of one more automatic mold line into in-ladle inoculation with usage of powder wire is within next founders’ plans. We speak about SPI-3 line. This step would allow Kamaz founders to get away totally from in mold process in ductile iron production of medium-sized castings.
