We offer automated dosing and loading systems equipped with a process management system developed specifically for foundries. This automation system directly connects production with the management and/or quality sector, providing essential data for continuous process optimization, such as:
Our charge preparation and loading systems are designed to accommodate all types of furnaces, including Induction Furnaces, Cupola Furnaces, Rotary Furnaces, and Arc Furnaces.
The Green Sand Recovery and Preparation System is essential for ensuring the final product quality, the efficiency and capability of the foundry process, and achieving competitive operational costs.
Kuttner provides tailor-made solutions for each specific case, considering the type of casting to be produced and the molding machine used.
Taking these requirements into account, we supply complete Green Sand Recovery and Preparation Systems, starting from shakeout and finishing with the supply of molding lines, with specifications, sizing, and layout developed tailor-made to meet each client’s needs.
The main objectives of our Liquid Metal Handling and Transportation System are:
Our system consists of a network of monorails, overhead cranes, trolleys, and electric hoists, all carefully designed to meet our clients’ needs.
The automation system, equipped with electrical sensors and mechanical interlocking stops, ensures safety, precise movement, and accurate ladle positioning during transit.
Benefits:
We provide dedusting and gas cleaning systems for various areas of the foundry industry.
Our dedusting technologies are designed for melting areas, whether using induction furnaces or cupola furnaces, as well as for sand preparation and recovery, the shakeout process, cooling and finishing of castings, and grinding and fettling operations.
For each case, we offer the most suitable solution, ensuring maximum efficiency.
The effectiveness of a dedusting system begins with efficient gas capture. We develop customized hoods for each application, maximizing dust and fume collection efficiency. Another critical factor for an effective dedusting system is the proper sizing of the capture points, ductwork, and filtration station, taking into account pressure losses, temperature, gas density, and flow velocity.
For gas cleaning, we offer both traditional vertical bag filters and high-performance horizontal bag filters, developed and manufactured in collaboration with LUEHR FILTER (Germany).
Advantages of High-Performance Horizontal Bag Filters:
For feeding, control, automation, and management of the systems in our technology portfolio, it is common to use a MCC (Motor Control Center) for motor activation and protection, along with a PLC Panel (Programmable Logic Controller) to implement logical control for automating all system operations. We provide the complete system, including hardware, software, and HMI (Human-Machine Interface).
The electrical and electronic system can be designed to operate automatically via PLC, with supervisory system management through dedicated software on a Windows platform, or in manual mode via authorized local control stations integrated with the supervisory system.
Benefits of the Supervisory System and Increased Competitiveness
Kuttner Group has supplied over 450 cupola furnaces worldwide, with capacities ranging from 8 to 100 t/h. We specialize in long-campaign hot-blast cupola furnaces, designed to ensure maximum efficiency and environmental compliance.
Our design approach considers not only capacity but also all specific project requirements, ensuring optimal performance for each installation.
We provide advanced technology for modern, fully integrated melting plants, meeting all environmental standards and including:
We offer planning and project execution services for new foundry implementations, as well as upgrades and improvements to existing facilities.
Our engineering, planning, and management services cover a broad scope, whether for the modernization of existing facilities or the installation of new equipment and systems in brownfield foundries. We also offer complete conceptualization and implementation of new greenfield foundries.
With extensive industry experience, we deliver tailored engineering solutions to meet the highest standards of productivity, operational cost efficiency, safety, and environmental compliance.
