Foundry Equipment and Metallurgy Machinery
Foundry equipment and metallurgy machinery must be able to withstand the rigors of high heat environments while functioning reliably on a daily basis. If your equipment fails, then facility operations will screech to a grinding halt. This halt will result in missed processing deadlines and lost profits.
To keep their foundries operating at peak efficiency, plant managers consistently turn to CYRUS for all of their metallurgy equipment needs.
Our products incorporate the latest technologies, durable manufacturing techniques, and modular designs to offer maximum value to our clients. Not only are our products reliable, but they are carefully designed to minimize noise pollution, facilitate ease of use, and reduce the overall cost of ownership.
When your facility needs to source foundry machinery or metallurgy equipment, CYRUS is the ideal partner.
What Foundry Equipment Does CYRUS Provide?
CYRUS foundry equipment and metallurgy machinery are in extremely high demand for metal melting and casting applications.
Our vibrating machines utilize leading-edge technologies in order to produce exceptional results. We are a preferred equipment provider for foundries throughout Europe and have long been supplying this industry with systems such as:
Mobile Charging Machines
Mobile charging machines play an integral role in any metallurgy or furnace operation. These devices are tasked with loading induction furnaces. Our mobile charging machines offer several distinct benefits that make them an appealing option for plant managers. These benefits include:
- Low operating costs
- High reliability
- Long service life
- Small footprint
- Noise reduction
Our traveling charging machines include traveling gear motor, a bin, vibratory trough conveyor equipment, and electrical controls. These machines are versatile enough to charge a wide variety of furnaces. Since our mobile charging machines are rail-borne, they are capable of traveling transversally, longitudinally, or both.
If necessary for your intended application, our machines can also be equipped with a semi-mobile supporting frame. This feature allows your personnel to safely move the metallurgy machinery with a forklift.
CYRUS’ mobile charging machine was specifically designed for use in melting shops and foundries. As such, our engineers incorporated a rugged weld and screw-fastened design that is also vibration resistant in order to ensure optimal durability.
Shake-Out Grids and Separation Troughs
Modern CYRUS shake-out grids incorporate vertical vibration technology in order to separate castings from lumps of material. These devices are primarily used to sort large pieces in low quantities.
Our shake-out grids feature a rugged design built with a low overall height and are extremely wear-resistant. These design attributes give our shake-out grids exceptionally long service lives and minimize operating costs.
While our shake-out grids can be adapted for your intended use case, they can accommodate molds up to 40 total tons.
A single grid can be scaled to as large as 20 square meters, whereas a multi-grid design can incorporate a surface area up to 40 square meters. This sizing makes our equipment large enough to tackle huge projects with ease.
Cooling Troughs
CYRUS’ cooling troughs are designed to prepare hot castings for the next phase of processing after they have been thoroughly de-sanded. These robustly-designed castling coolers are totally enclosed in order to minimize noise pollution within the plant.
Our cooling troughs also utilize countercurrent airflow, which is created by a ventilator. Active air cooling is far more effective than traditional, free convection cooling without a ventilator for several reasons. Specifically, our cooling troughs offer benefits including:
- Increased cooling efficiency
- Compact design
- Fewer hazard points
- Reduced cast part handling
- Shorter conveying distances vs. traditional coolers
Given these benefits, casting coolers have quickly become one of the most popular foundry machinery products in CYRUS’ equipment lineup.
Molding Sand Recovery Systems
Waste is a major pain point for metallurgy plants and foundries. In order to help reduce waste and increase overall operational efficiency, CYRUS designed dynamic molding and recovery systems specifically for the needs of foundries.
These systems can effectively recycle foundry sand so that it can be reused. The recycling process is facilitated with our lump crushing technology.
As with all CYRUS metallurgy equipment, our molding sand recovery systems are modular in order to enhance their customizability. Our experts can design and modify these recovery systems to meet the space and fitment requirements of your facility.
Vibralift Technologies
Vibralift is CYRUS’ innovative material handling system that is far more efficient and compact than virtually any other option on the market. The Vibralift system leverages the power of vertical vibrations to convey media upwards in a closed shaft.
Since the lifting shaft does not contain any moving parts, maintenance responsibilities are minimal. Vibralift can safely convey products with temperatures as high as 350 degrees centigrade, such as the sand in a metallurgy shop.
The Vibralift system is powered by two vibration motors. It incorporates a dust-proof design, can be installed in tight spaces, and exhibits stellar wear resistance. The device can convey up to 13 cubic meters of material per hour, depending on particle size.
Perhaps the most appealing aspect of Vibralift is that it can be utilized in conditions where bucket elevators, Z conveyors, or spiral lifts cannot.
Key Features of CYRUS Foundry Machinery
While every piece of CYRUS foundry equipment and metallurgy machinery has unique attributes that set them apart from competitors, all of our products exhibit several value-adding features. Specifically, CYRUS foundry machinery is known for its:
Quietness
For centuries, noise pollution has been a major pain point for foundries and metallurgy facilities. Excessive noise not only diminishes the quality of the work environment but can also create safety hazards as it can prevent employees from effectively communicating.
Prolonged exposure to high volumes can cause long-term health consequences for staff, which is a concern that plant managers must address.
CYRUS equipment incorporates noise and vibration mitigating features in order to minimize the amount of sound that it generates. The result is a quieter and safer processing environment.
Many people mistakenly believe that vibratory equipment is loud and disruptive. While this may be true of other options out there, CYRUS’ foundry equipment is designed to operate quietly and not disturb adjacent machinery.
Reliability
Unexpected downtime is one of the biggest concerns of plant managers. This concern is understandable, as facility-wide operations could be shut down if a conveyor or mobile charging machine goes offline.
While no manufacturer can completely eliminate the risk of downtime, CYRUS has carefully crafted every product to offer superior reliability and durability. Our engineering team leveraged our decades of experience to design each piece of metallurgy machinery so that you can rely on it day in and day out.
Modular Design
At CYRUS, we understand that no two facilities are identical. Seemingly simple layout and space variations can make a prefabricated piece of equipment unsuitable for use in your plant. That is why CYRUS abandoned the pre-fab product catalog model in favor of a built-to-order approach.
Although we manufacture using established designs as the framework for each product order, we can customize our machinery to suit your intended application. This strategy ensures that our products can be seamlessly integrated into your foundry layout without creating safety or productivity concerns.
Low Cost of Ownership
As part of our effort to help clients achieve a maximum return on their product investment, we design all of our foundry machinery in a manner that minimizes the cost of ownership. This mindful design process involves making moving parts easy to access and incorporating our vibration solutions into products whenever possible.
The combination of our product’s longevity and minimal maintenance needs can help your plant improve its profitability while also avoiding costly downtime.
