Approach

This is accomplished by R. J. Collins helping analyze, troubleshoot and improve the DC Casting process by any or all of the following areas:

• Conducting an expert independent billet casting audit,
• Implementing critical equipment upgrades and retrofits,
• Providing on-going expert troubleshooting technical service support,
• Presenting operator and mold room defect prevention training, and
• Optimizing the casting parameters after the above have been completed.

Results

• Improved recoveries of 2% to 7%
• 6 to 9 Month payback period
• Easier operation
• Trained operators with consistent procedures

Besides the casting audit, of particular interest to our customers is our Accu-Set™ Mold Calibration System retrofit combined with our Accu-Test™ Casting Ring Testing System.  The audits with these products have improved recoveries by 2% to 7% in less than one year.  The average payback period is only 6 to 9 months.  R. J. Collins has converted over 40 tables and is the leading expert in developing and implementing this new innovative technology.  Click on one of the following White Papers for additional information or click on Products or Services.
