THE PARTNER FOR FOUNDRIES

THE PARTNER FOR FOUNDRIES

COMPANY HISTORY The company was established in Laasphe by Georg Müller and Heinrich Wagner under the name of Müller & Wagner as a factory for foundry machinery. After demolition in the year 1945, the restart followed under the name of Heinrich Wagner. In the year 1975, the sales company for vacuum moulding plants, Wagner Sinto, was set up. The association with the SINTOKOGIO Group, the largest manufacturer of foundry machinery worldwide, was realized in 1983. Facility Amalienhütte

hws is a member of the worldwide SINTOKOGIO Group, Japan, and is today a leading manufacturer of moulding machines and related products for lines manufacturing high-quality moulds for foundries. Our facilities are located in Bad Laasphe. Departments for administration, development and design, assembly of moulding machines and lines and for the associated hydraulic and electric equipment are all distributed between three building complexes at this location. Our branch works Amalienhütte, not far from the main works, comprises the machine shop and fabricating department. Complex welded structures are produced and machined using modern CNC-controlled machines. The sawing centre, integrated into this plant, operates fully automatically.

WIDE-RANGING COMPETENCE The mastery of these single activities forms the basis of the excellent reputation that our company enjoys in the foundry industry. As a result, this means for the customer that he can rely on the quality Made in Germany. On the basis of their experience gained during decades, hws engineers and experienced specialists in the fields of design and installation guarantee operational reliability and steadiness of the equipment supplied and installed. The know-how acquired in the development, manufacture and commissioning of meanwhile more than 500 plants worldwide provides the guarantee of hands-on experience and competence. hws attaches great importance to designing and manufacturing all subassemblies, e.g. steel structure, hydraulic parts and cylinders, switch cabinets, controls, in-house. This involves that the quality remains under one umbrella; customer-specific requirements can be realized directly and without delay. Our well-trained service personnel may be at customer s site with flexibility and a short reaction time. In addition, our control provides the possibility of a remote diagnosis in order to further reduce possible waiting periods.

TECHNOLOGY FOR PERFECT CASTINGS Since 1983, hws has been designing SEIATSU moulding machines and plants. The SEIATSU air-flow squeeze moulding process has constantly been developed and permits perfect moulding quality. The range of the excellent castings as to quality reaches from the simple component and hydraulic castings up to sophisticated automotive products.... the Partner for Foundries

The vacuum moulding process has experienced a comeback during the last few years thanks to excellent output and moulding results, in particular in case of large-sized components, e.g. in the sector of railway castings.

The flaskless moulding machine type FBO produces high-quality castings and is -thanks to its compactness- ready for production within a minimum period of time after installation and operators instructions. For an optimum mould filling, hws has been developing automatic pouring machines the advantage of which is that temperature, flow rate and quantity of melt are precisely controllable and, most notably, repeatable. Besides other advantages, this fact guarantees homogeneous casting features in the batch production.... the Partner for Foundries

FLASKLESS ACUUM MOULDING MACHINES Type FBO Moulding machines of type FBO produce flaskless moulds with horizontal joint. FBO machines are supplied as turnkey projects and installed at floor level. The sand filling system facilitates the production of accurate moulds using bentonite-bonded moulding sand. The uniform sand compaction guarantees the production of high-quality castings even if these involve deep pockets and thin walls. MOULDING PLANTS -Process This moulding process is based on the generation of a vacuum that deep-draws a thermoplastic contour film over a prepared pattern and that maintains the mould rigidity of the bonder-free sand during pouring and cooling up to the shake-out process.

MPS MULTI POURING SYSTEM The Multi Pouring System permits the cost-effective production of castings of aluminium or grey cast iron in large-scale production with guaranteed process reliability. With the Multi Pouring System, the foundryman may choose to either pour with the low-pressure process or with the conventional gravity process. There is a variety of possibilities to produce castings individually. SOFTWARE FOR FOUNDRIES The hws research team provides various programs for the functional optimization and sequence control of modern moulding plants. The Production Monitoring System A.L.S. 2010 and the program P.D.C. 2010 (Plant Data Collection) have proven their worth in the foundry practice a long time ago.
