Spanish metalcasting group makes world's largest furnace order.The Spanish Spanish, river, c.150 mi (240 km) long, issuing from Spanish Lake, S Ont., Canada, NW of Sudbury, and flowing generally S through Biskotasi and Agnew lakes to Lake Huron opposite Manitoulin island. There are several hydroelectric stations on the river. metalcasting group Fagor, part of Mondragon Corp., Mondragon, Spain, is upgrading its melt capabilities through the world's largest single order for melting equipment. The order for three Inductotherm inductotherm an electrical instrument used in the treatment of sprained tendons in horses; produces high tissue temperatures by induction. melting furnaces significantly increases Fagor's melt capacity at its five iron metalcasting facilities, which produce a wide range of gray and ductile iron Ductile iron, also called ductile cast iron or nodular cast iron, is a type of cast iron invented in 1943 by Keith Millis[1]. While most varieties of cast iron are brittle, ductile iron is much more ductile, as the name implies. components for automotive OEMs across Europe. The 15 megawatt meg·a·watt n. Abbr. MW One million watts. meg  a·watt power unit--the largest of the three, incorporating
two 20 ton furnaces and a control system--will be the largest of its
kind ever installed.
Built by Inductotherm Europe, Worcester, U.K., the three new furnaces mark a significant development in the company's relationship with Fagor. With all three units being installed and commissioned by Inductotherm's own engineers by the end of 2006, the furnaces will substantially increase the iron metal melt capacity at Fagor. |
