ASIMCO Camshaft Completes Expansion of Casting and Melting Capacity
Release Date:
14-08-15
On August 8, 2014, another memorable day for ASIMCO Camshaft, the company’s newly invested 4T dual-power one-to-two melting furnace was officially put into operation. The project was launched in February this year and arrived at the factory for installation and commissioning in July. The entire project comprises a dual-output power supply system, two 4T furnace units, and a total output power of 2,500 kW that can be continuously and flexibly allocated between the two furnaces. While one 4T furnace maintains the molten iron at 1,500°C, the other 4T furnace melts cold charge to ≥1,500°C. The implementation of this project will meet the company’s casting and smelting capacity needs for the next few years. Currently, the company operates two smelting furnaces purchased as complete lines from overseas in the early 1980s in 2006, which have been in continuous use ever since. Each furnace is equipped with its own control system, and the two furnaces cannot operate simultaneously. As a result, the smelting capacity has become the bottleneck process in the casting production line. With the introduction of the new one-to-two smelting furnace, waiting time for smelting has been significantly reduced, and the efficiency of the casting production line is expected to increase by nearly 30%. The next few years will be a period of rapid development for ASIMCO Camshaft, and equipment investment will be the top priority in the company’s technological upgrading efforts. We will always bear in mind the investment adage “No investment means waiting for death; reckless investment means seeking it,” conduct thorough research and meticulous cost analysis, and ensure that every penny is spent on equipment that best supports the company’s development, thereby providing a solid foundation for the company’s sustained and healthy growth.
On August 8, 2014, another memorable day for ASIMCO Camshaft, the company’s newly invested 4T dual-power one-to-two melting furnace was officially put into operation. The project was launched in February this year and arrived at the factory for installation and commissioning in July. The entire project includes a dual-output power supply system, two 4T furnace bodies, and an output power of 2,500 kW that can be continuously and arbitrarily allocated between the two furnace bodies. While maintaining the molten iron at 1,500°C in one 4T furnace, the other 4T furnace melts cold charge to ≥1,500°C. The implementation of this project will meet the company’s casting and smelting capacity needs for the next few years.
The company currently operates two smelting furnaces that were purchased in 2006 as complete production lines from overseas; these are equipment originally manufactured in the early 1980s and have been in continuous use ever since. Each furnace is paired with its own independent control system, and the two furnaces cannot be operated simultaneously. As a result, smelting capacity has become the bottleneck process on the casting production line. With the commissioning of a new “one-for-two” smelting furnace, waiting times for smelting have been significantly reduced, and the overall efficiency of the casting production line is expected to increase by nearly 30%.
The next few years will be a period of rapid development for ASIMCO’s Camshaft business, and equipment investment will be the top priority in the company’s technological transformation. We will keep in mind the investment adage “No investment means waiting for death; reckless investment means seeking death,” conduct thorough research and meticulous cost analysis, and ensure that every penny is invested in equipment that is suitable for the company’s development, thereby providing a solid foundation for the company’s sustainable and healthy growth.
