WESMAN SIMPSON+HARTLEY ON-LINE CONTROL AND AUTOMATION SYSTEM

Controlling the consistency of your sand is essential in producing higher quality castings and increasing your overall profitability. But controlling compactability swings, stabilizing your moisture levels and reducing sand related defect rates can be a challenge.

What if you could…

  • Reduce bad molds by reducing swings in compactability readings to control sand consistencies? Would that help you improve the quality of your castings?
  • Realize full automation on your mixer system and eliminate dedicated labor? Would you be able to reallocate your mixer operators to another part of the foundry?

The Simpson Hartley control system and compactability controller has been designed to precisely control green sand compactability, bond addition and water addition as well as provide full automation for an entire mixer/muller group. The compactability controller also measures and records green strength and moisture.

When combined with a capable batch or continuous muller, the Simpson Hartley enables you to:

Accurately and automatically control prepared green sand to within ±3 compactability points from a desired set point (When a properly designed system and good sand handling practices are followed).

Interface with the sand system and/or molding line so that molding sand is produced only when desired and/or capable.

Automatically measure EVERY sand batch.

Access sand data that can assist in determining the cause of your sand related scrap.

The Simpson Hartley system has been installed on over 900 mixers in more than 35 countries. Simpson Technologies was chosen due to:

Simpson’s extensive experience in control technologies.

The robust software which experienced engineers make continuous improvements based on customer feedback.

The robust and unique mechanical design of our tester.

The ability to utilize Allen Bradley or Siemens PLC and HMI.

The Wesman Simpson Hartley control system is manufactured in India.
