COMPANY sand is required every day – and it has to be moved by pneumatic vessel conveyor: from the sand silos to the sand mixers which, as a result of the hall’s infrastructure, had to be specially modified so that they could stand on the floor. Then the sand flows via more pneumatic vessel conveyors to the core-shooting machines in Hall 1. The filling level of the silos will in future be networked with the sand suppliers to secure the sand supply to the silos at all times. After hardening of the cores in the core-shooting machines they are transported to the climatized depot, where nine different core types are stored with the help of an ERP system. Whereby expertise on the storability of inorganic cores is also used and taken into account when selecting the storage spaces. In view of the sensitive climatizing situation the depot at Inacore is not only monitored by the company’s own team – there is also real-time networking with the BMW depot, resulting in transparency on both sides, intended to optimize production reliability and collaboration. The partners also consider quality very important: they have invested more than 200,000 euros in quality assurance equipment. This includes a laboratory core-shooting machine for determining sand quality, the quality of the mix, and core breaking strength, as well as a measurement system by Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany, with which, among other things, measurements are carried out as proof provided by the supplier for the customer. The sand grain size is also determined in the laboratory. The average grain size at Inacore is 0.32 micrometers. There is also a small furnace available for moisture measurement. Employee discussions in the production hall. More than 30 personnel are currently working at Inacore. Inacore to increase process understanding Production could start in Ergoldsbach shortly before the sampling took place in early December 2017. 30 core packages were sent off to BMW punctually – and they met the carmaker’s requirements. The gambit had worked, and machine and plant constructors R. Scheuchl GmbH and Laempe Mössner Sinto had become core-makers. The two partners deliberately exceeded their traditional business fields in machine and plant construction in order to gain operator expertise. “The demands have increased; process understanding is required nowadays. How can one plan plants without understanding the details?” asks Andreas Mössner, adding: “We want to understand the daily activities, and thus also improve the machines.” Another motivation for the investment by Laempe and Scheuchl, however, was undoubtedly to win the order from BMW. But the new company does not want to be dependent on a single OEM so it is currently acquiring more customers for the high-tech core shop. All those involved in the new company are confident about its future pros pects, as became clear during the opening ceremony in September 2018. The founders of R. Scheuchl GmbH attended, alongside high-ranking guests from the worlds of politics and commerce. Finally, the BMW team was also screened in the production hall. The men in the BMW waistcoats were showing solidarity with the Inacore team – and were thus also celebrating an exemplary collaboration between supplier and customer. www.inacore.de 14
FOUNDRY – A PASSION FROM OUR HEART. DR. CHRISTIAN APPELT, GLOBAL BUSINESS MANAGER INORGANICS “COURAGE AND CREATIVITY FOR INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS” Emission-free binder systems for productive applications. Meet us at GIFA <strong>2019</strong>: Hall 12, Booth A22 The development and implementation of emission-free binder systems in large-scale production of metal castings is a key concern of modern foundries. Our product solutions surpass the ecological and economic requirements of conventional and additive manufacturing processes. With INOTEC TM and INOTEC TM 3D technology we are driving the most efficient and green foundry applications today. www.gifa.ask-chemicals.com CASTING PLANT & TECHNOLOGY 2/<strong>2019</strong> 15
