One of the critical control levers for good casting outcomes is the control of moisture. Moisture being directly proportional to Compactability, the control of the Compactability assumes significant importance in the sand preparation process.
The key to good Compactability control is the set-point at the mixer which determines the Discharge Compactability (DiCo) and ultimately, the Lab Compactability (LaCo). Therefore, the importance of determining the most optimal set-point at the Controller cannot be overstated.
MPM INFOSOFT has developed a unique Variable Compactability Control Software: "VComp-SP®" , leveraging both current and real-time data from SCADA and sensors, to enable foundries to dynamically predict and variably adjust set-points at the Mixer/ Controller.
VComp-SP® is an enhancement and an addition to the compactability controller function and is not it's substitute.
MPM INFOSOFT can design, install and digitize the complete loop of the sensors and interface with available SCADA . The data so captured will become a significant source of valuable insight into and proactive control of one of the most crucial ratios of a foundry sand system: Compactability to Moisture ratio.
