FOUNDRY

Çimsataş foundry is one of the leading steel foundries in Turkey and although the main field of production are steel casting, it produces also nodular cast iron.

We have two different molding lines: green sand and resin molding system. Our green sand molding line consists of a GF sand mixer with a capacity of 10 tons per hour and a pair of BMM WESTON brand molding systems.

At the end of 2021 the brand Künkel Wagner green sand preparation system with automatic dosing method having a capacity of 30 tons/h was put into use.

In addition, our resin molding line consists of;

• one FTL Sand Mixer (20 tons per hour),
  
• one FTL Mechanical Reclamation (15 tons/h),
  
• one IMF Thermal Sand Reclamation (3 tons per hour),
  
• Chromite Separation (5 tons per hour) units.
  

The total melting capacity of our foundry is approximately 13.000 tons per year and Inductotherm induction furnaces are used for melting. There are 8 separate melting furnaces having the power from 750 KW to 2500 KW and capable of melting from 1000 kg to 3500 kg.

Normalization heat treatments are carried out with a total of 3 batch type furnaces (2x5 tons/batch, 1x10 tons/batch) working with NPG to meet a capacity of 13.000 tons per year.

In addition, there are 4 hanger blast cleaning machines (Schlick, 2xEndümak, BSM) having 1-3 tons/batch capacity which are used for sand, scale and oxide layer cleaning purposes in our foundry.

Creo engineering (2xCreo 7.0 / 1xCreo 3.0 / 1xCreo 2.0) and Novacast casting simulation programs (2xNovaflow & Solid 6.6R1) are used in our casting designs.
