The Challenges for Energy Efficient Casting Processes ...
01/01/2016 · In most nonferrous foundries, the holding process requires more energy than the melting process does. Reducing the holding time is one of the most efficient ways for energy saving. To achieve this, a smooth and continuous production plan is essential. Lean tools, such as TPM, VSM, production levelling and planning can be used to assess the holding time reduction. 5. Quantifying potential ...
