DISA Industries and pour-tech are cooperating to bring together the best available foundry technology for the industry. This collaboration simplifies operations by offering a single-source supplier solution with just one contract and a dedicated contact point. The well-proven equipment interface seamlessly integrates moulding and pouring processes, ensuring faster installation and start-up without requiring customer involvement. Integrated real-time machine communication and process control enhance operations by boosting efficiency and quality while minimizing labor needs and manual intervention.

“This partnership simplifies project complexity by reducing the number of suppliers and coordination between them.” said Bo Wolff Haugbølle, Vice President OEM Sales, DISA. Oliver Schmitz, Sales Manager, pour-tech adds, “Together, we deliver streamlined, integrated solutions that add real value, which enhances operations and results for our customers.”

Time and time again, Brackelsberg’s versatile moulding line has proved its speed and all-round ability, producing everything from gearbox housings to lift and sewing machine components in varying run lengths.

“We run all kinds of castings that fit on our DISA’s plates,” says Martin-Mohaupt, “producing small and medium series in different materials for a really diverse range of industries. We added a superstructure to the Automatic Mould Conveyer (AMC) plates in order to raise casting weight up to 40 kg per mould but, other than that, we’ve not changed it much in 50 years.”

“Our DISAMATIC has run and run for us without any major downtime and its robust mechanical design meant we were always able to rectify any faults ourselves,” continues Martin-Mohaupt.

As the Brackelsberg team gets ready to retire its long-serving DISA moulding, it’s planning for a more digital, more sustainable future – and a new generation of DISAMATIC.

“We’re currently planning to install a new DISA moulding line to replace our old model, probably a DISAMATIC C3,” says Martin-Mohaupt. “With the new machine, we will simultaneously change our chamber size, allowing us even more flexibility in pattern making and therefore in our production.”

Staying with DISA looks like an obvious choice for Brackelsberg, due to its legacy machine’s history of “accuracy, moulding speed, long lifetime and high reliability”.

“Maintenance has been easy and we’ve been able to do it ourselves,” says Martin-Mohaupt. “We expect a new DISAMATIC will require even less maintenance than our old one.”
