Foundry industry is confrontated with many  issues:

  • Greensand (bentonite bonded sand) is contamination due to organic carbon residues from sea coal and core binders. These carbon residues are for example condensates C10-C40 products wich can be compared with mineral oil. They absorb BTEX and many often not indicated aromatic components

  • Working place conditions, special carbon monoxide. 

  • Emissions, for example BTEX or odour. 

  • Increasing costs for Emisions (CO2) and dumping or re-use

 

There is often a conflict  between productivity and sustainability, environmental friendly producing.

We strive to find a balans in this, knowing the difficulty of introducing new product and processing in existing product lines 

 

Think of using coal dust , phenolic resin, iso cyanate ,  organic solvents , they all contribute to contamination and emissions, but are needed to produce effectively.

We can help to select the best materials, technology to minimise the impact on the environment.
