Columbus and Cordele, Georgia
Columbus, Georgia
In Columbus, casting operations are supported by four Brown-Boveri coreless induction furnaces, coupled with 1200°F (650°C) preheating, and a comprehensive core shop employing isocure, shell and no-bake (air set). Steel and quality scrap are purchased from a variety of sources.
The Large Casting Facility at Columbus utilizes a Heinrich Wagner Sinto automated molding machine. Using this (48×48 18/18) high pressure machine, ductile iron and gray iron casting capability includes the cost efficient manufacture of large castings.
The Sinto incorporates the Seiatsu Blow Squeeze process, and provides opportunity to produce short run and high-volume orders. The goal with a Sinto Tight Flask Molding Machine is to create near net-shape castings, reducing the need for machining and other processing operations.
