Foundry Audit and Dream Foundry Development
The CCMCO team spends a lot of time in foundries. When we visit we often ask our hosts, what would your dream foundry look like. This sparks many conversations that usually result in lists being made.
- Short term
- Mid-term
- Long term
Or
- Low cost
- Medium cost
- Ultimate foundry
We believe that you don't need to dig up the foundation to see improvement in the foundry. Small changes can often be made to a customer's existing foundry that can make a big impact. For example, we can change the spray tips on existing lances to try to minimize the number of coating application passes. With minimal investment you can decrease cycle time and increase casting quality.
