moulding maChineS - Heinrich Wagner Sinto

HWS is a member of the worldwide Sintokogio Group,Japan, and is today a leading manufacturer of mouldingmachines and related products for lines manufacturinghigh-quality moulds for foundries.Our facilities are located in Bad Laasphe. Departments foradministration, development and design, assembly ofmoulding machines and lines and for the associatedhydraulic and electric equipment are all distributedbetween three building complexes at this location.Our branch works “Amalienhütte”, not far from the mainworks, comprises the machine shop and fabricatingdepartment. Complex welded structures are producedand machined using modern CNC-controlled machines.The sawing centre, integrated into this plant, operatesfully automatically.Our range of activities• Analysis, Consultancy and Project Planning• Design Engineering• Mechanical Manufacture• Internal Performance Test/Pre-Assembly• Installation at Customer’s Site• Training and After Sales Service3

Wide Ranging expertiseExpertise in each of the relevant areas provides the basisfor the high reputation that our company enjoys in thefoundry industry. Our customers can rely on the quality ofour products in the best tradition that “Made in Germany”implies.On the basis of the experience gained over several decadesby HWS engineers and other specialists in the field ofdesign and installation, the highest levels of operatingreliability of the installed equipment are guaranteed: theknowledge acquired in the development, manufacture andcommissioning of more than 500 plants world wide makesa vital contribution.HWS knows that meticulous attention in the design andmanufacture of every detail, such as the basic steel structure,the hydraulic system, the switchgear cabinets and controls,etc. will each play an essential part and must be underin house control. Responsibility for the complete projectand the quality achieved will thus rest with a single source.Customers’ specific requirements can be considered andaccommodated efficiently and with minimum delay.Our substantial team of well trained service per-sonnelmeans that service can be provided on site with flexibilityand reaction times are short. Furthermore since the controlsystems incorporate remote diagnostic facilities, in manyinstances problems can be solved on this route.4

Technology for perfect castingHWS has been designing SEIATSU moulding machines andplants since 1983. The SEIATSU air-flow squeeze mouldingprocess has undergone steady development and results inperfect moulding quality.Advantages of excellence in the castings are enjoyedequally on simple castings as well as sophisticatedautomotive products.5

In recent years the advantages of the vacuum mouldingprocess have been found to be also particularly valuablefor larger size components such as castings for the railwayindustry.6

The flaskless moulding machine type FBO for high qualitycastings is a compact machine. As a result the time requiredfor installation is kept to a minimum and production cancommence after only a short period of operator training.HWS has developed automatic pouring machines foroptimum mould finishing. The temperature, flow rate andquantity of melt are all precisely controlled. As a result allthe castings of a pro-duction batch will be of homogenousand of consistently high quality.7
