10 million moulds in under 5 years: DISAMATIC C3-350 delivers incredible uptime with high quality and low maintenance

Since Chinese foundry Guangzhou Deshan CNC Technology Co. Ltd. installed its first DISAMATIC C3-350 machine in December 2017, this green sand, vertical moulding line has produced more than 10 million moulds. The moulding machine runs 24/7 and produces an average of over 7,000 moulds every day.

The new D5 was designed to slot straight into the gap left by a DISA 240 or 250 with key dimensions retained to enable an easy transition to the new technology.

Why is AI so vital for foundries

It’s simple. Scrap increases production costs. AI helps minimise scrap and cuts those costs to a minimum.

One beats two

In 2016, Luyuan Casting Co., Ltd. replaced two locally-made vertical moulding machines with one DISAMATIC® D3 vertical moulding machine from DISA. The single DISA machine easily outperformed the older, slower machines, delivering far higher output, better casting quality – and a lower cost per casting.

Condals implements Monitizer® Suite

Adopting DISA’s Monitizer® Suite has rapidly transformed Spanish foundry group Condals’ access to foundry data. Monitizer | GLOBAL’s customised dashboards now deliver a unified, real-time view of process information while Monitizer | PRESCRIBE’s Artificial Intelligence-driven recommendations have helped cut scrap by up to 45%.

Condals and the Monitizer | PRESCRIBE optimisation tool.

“We were interested in finding an AI solution that would help us lower our scrap rate as much as possible,” says David de la Cruz, CIO at Condals Group. “DISA offered a complete solution with Monitizer. Other competing solutions only look at parts of the process in detail and only optimise certain parameters – mould alignment, temperature, porosity – whereas Monitizer | PRESCRIBE optimises the entire process to reduce scrap. That was exactly what we were looking for.”
