BRASS FOUNDRY

Vibrating machines are extensively used in the brass production processes, especially for the more modern methods:

• loading recipe and raw material preparation;
• feeding furnaces;
• cooling slag products;
• slag treatment.

Load preparation

A modern brass foundry must be able to vary raw materials with a certain degree of flexibly. We design our equipment and software  to handle recipe changes easily.
Alloy recipes can be prepared automatically with vibrating feeders which extract the products from the hoppers and then add them in precise quantities handled by a PLC.
The extraction phase is very delicate and requires considerable care because each product behaves differently (copper scrap, zinc, brass chips, etc.).

Feeding the furnaces

The furnace is fed by vibrating feeders which are designed to accumulate the required stock  while also carefully dosing the amount of product loaded into the furnace.
Strength and resistance to high temperatures are essential features of furnace loaders.

Cooling slag

Slag removed from the melting furnace must be cooled and prepared for transport.
During this discontinuous process, it is highly probable that melted material be extracted along with the waste product.
Our cooling system operates on several furnaces in parallel, and is designed to withstand high temperatures and discontinuous loads to guarantee the desired temperature of outflowing materials.

Slag treatment

Cooled slag must be crushed, screened and fed into collection silos ready for transport.
During the crushing and screening phases, any remaining brass residue can be separated from the waste, recovered and sent back to the production process.
