Omega Sinto Foundry Equipment, a leading manufacturer in the chemically-bonded sand sector, is at the forefront of the foundry industry's transformation. We aim to continuously push the boundaries of foundry technology with innovative solutions focused on automation and digitalisation.
This article explores how Omega Sinto is contributing to the future of foundry machinery, empowering many plants to achieve greater efficiency, improve quality, and operate more sustainably.
Standing Out in a Changing Landscape
The foundry industry, with its rich history and tradition, is undergoing a significant shift. As automation and digitalisation gain traction, manufacturers are seeking ever-more efficient and sophisticated equipment. Omega Sinto Foundry Equipment recognises this changing landscape and is at the forefront, providing innovative solutions that address these evolving needs.
Automating Foundry Processes
One of the key areas where Omega Sinto shines is in automating foundry processes. This not only reduces reliance on manual labour but also minimises material waste and optimises production efficiency.
Here's a closer look at some of our automation contributions:
- Sand Mixing Systems: These systems utilise RFID pattern technology to deskill and improve production. This translates to less reliance on manual work, minimised material waste, and ultimately, a more efficient production line.
- Mould Handling Systems: Streamlining the entire process, from pouring molten metal to extracting finished castings, these systems feature carousels, fast loops, or shuttles. This allows for precise and speedy handling of moulds of various sizes, leading to increased production and improved overall foundry safety.
- Core Making Machines: Omega Sinto offers a variety of automated core making machines to cater to different production needs. These machines can produce complex cores with intricate shapes quickly and consistently, eliminating the need for manual core assembly. This translates to reduced labour costs, faster production times, and improved core quality.
- Shakeout Systems: Once the metal has solidified, the castings need to be separated from the sand mould. Omega Sinto's automated shakeout systems efficiently separate castings using precise vibration and controlled movement. This not only minimises damage to castings but also recovers usable sand for future molding processes.
Digitalisation: Transforming Foundries with Data-Driven Insights
At Omega Sinto, we recognise the power of data and digitalisation in transforming foundries. All of our systems are fully customisable to the needs of your foundry and the integration of our web-based monitoring system, Omega Connect, works to support the data-driven approach needed in modern foundry production.
Omega Connect acts as a central hub, allowing for real-time data collection and analysis from any web browser. This empowers foundry managers by providing a numerical view of their entire operation, at all times.
Imagine being able to see the performance of individual machines alongside overall production trends, all in a single, user-friendly platform. Omega Connect facilitates data-driven decision making, allowing foundries to identify areas for improvement, optimise processes, and ultimately, maximise efficiency.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Innovation at Omega Sinto goes beyond just improving efficiency and quality. We are committed to developing solutions that minimise environmental impact:
- Sand Reclamation Systems: These systems efficiently separate usable sand from waste materials, reducing the need for virgin sand and lowering the overall foundry footprint.
- Energy-Efficient Equipment Design: Omega Sinto's equipment design prioritises energy efficiency, helping foundries minimise their carbon footprint and operate more sustainably.
