Foundry production often faces problems that reduce the competitiveness of the enterprise: high percentage of defects, unstable quality of molds, long downtime of equipment. Finding solutions that simultaneously reduce costs and increase product quality becomes the main task of shop managers.
One of these solutions is the introduction of CTC technology. It opens up new opportunities for casting accuracy, cost optimization, and increased efficiency of the production cycle. We will show you how to properly prepare for the transition to cold-curing mixtures and how UKRFAVORIT video instructions help make this process clear and accessible.
What is HTS and why is it being implemented in modern foundries?
CTS or cold-curing mixture is a modern technology for preparing molding and core mixtures for foundry production. It is based on the use of sand, special resins and catalysts that harden at room temperature. This allows you to obtain molds with high strength and accuracy.
The main reasons why the HTS system is actively used in foundries are:
- increased casting accuracy and surface quality of parts;
- flexibility in the production cycle;
- reduction of time for preparing forms;
- the possibility of effective sand regeneration;
- reduction of defects and waste.
Thanks to this, the technology makes it possible to work with various casting materials and increase overall production efficiency.
Preparing for the implementation of HTS: what to check before starting
Before starting the implementation of the CTS, it is important to assess the readiness of the enterprise. At this stage, an analysis is carried out of all areas that will be involved in the production cycle.
Key points to note:
- condition and parameters of existing foundry equipment;
- correct selection and adjustment of sand mixers;
- quality and suitability of resins and catalysts;
- the level of personnel training to work with new technology;
- the need for additional training and technical audit.
It is also important to consider the room conditions, ventilation and the possibility of future modernization of the foundry. We help to comprehensively assess the state of production so that the preparatory stage is as productive as possible.
Main stages of implementing CTS in production
The process of launching a CTS consists of several key steps. Each of them affects the quality and stability of the future production cycle:
- Equipment selection and setup.
- Procurement and inspection of casting materials.
- Installation and start-up of a sand mixer.
- Working out technological modes.
- Control of the properties of the cold-hardening mixture.
- Carrying out trial pours.
- Analysis of the results obtained and process optimization.
Each stage is accompanied by consultations, recommendations, and adjustments. This allows you to reduce setup time and achieve stable operation faster.
Video instructions from UKRFAVORIT as an element of implementation support
We have prepared a series of detailed video instructions that demonstrate all the nuances of working with the HTS technology. These materials consistently show key steps – from correctly mixing the mixture to controlling the properties of finished forms.
Such materials make personnel training more visual and effective. They help to learn new technological techniques faster, and it is also convenient to use videos as a hint in work situations. Combined with our expert support, this opens up the opportunity for the enterprise to quickly switch to a stable production rhythm and improve the quality of results.
Criteria for assessing the effectiveness of the functioning of the CTS
To evaluate the effectiveness of a new technology, it is important to have clear criteria. We recommend paying attention to the following indicators:
- the level of reduction of defects in serial production;
- stability of properties of finished forms;
- cost-effectiveness of using resins and catalysts;
- percentage of sand reuse through regeneration;
- improving casting quality and geometric accuracy;
- reducing equipment downtime.
Regular monitoring of parameters helps maintain high quality and identify potential problems in a timely manner. This is the basis for further optimization of casting processes.
