Melting shop

Two medium frequency crucible induction furnace,
melting rate 6 t/h

At Schonlau´s melting shop two medium frequency crucible induction furnaces are in mutual use. In connection to the use of high-quality raw materials and constant quality assurance we ensure the permanent and reproducible adherence to of all demanded analyses and casting temperatures. The medium frequency crucible induxtion furnace is the most modern and efficient plant for melting iron foundry at present. The energy is transmitted directly from a coil to the furnace content. The field of the furnace coil causes melt movement, which guarantees an optimal blending of all alloying constituents in addition to the heating up of the iron.

Core shop

Our core shop manufactures custom made unique pieces and small series by hand, larger units are produced on one of our 7 core shooter machines with a volume from 3 to 100 litres/piece. Our core oven guarantees a frictionless further operating schedule. Also complicated core assemblies are professionally implemented of our foundry employees. Amin and Arasin gas treating ensure the protection of our employees and the adherence to all necessary environmental protection conditions.

Our core shop contains:

Furan
Pepset
Cold-Box
Chromore
Special sand

Patternmaking

Your requests for modification, maintenance work and foundry-technical optimizations would be achieved by our qualified patternmakers. In accordance to your drawings or CAD data our patternmaking develops a raw casting for production preparation. All necessary founding would be taken into allowance. The production of the pattern equipment takes place in accordance to EN 12890.

In our patternmaking we handle model equipment of:
