Experts in moulding plants and sand preparation plants – ranging as far as pouring machines

The Complete Solution

Künkel-Wagner is able to offer you a unique range of products and process expertise by supplying  complete foundry plants, pouring machines and the well matched sand preparation plants – all from the one source!

In conjunction with the system control, the result is a significant advantage for our customers as quality documentation and consistency are ensured in the systems. Our plant technology guarantees high quality production with maximum safety and minimum manpower. Modular systems offer flexibility to allow gradual investment in the form of single moulding machines to a semi to fully automatic moulding plant, which can also produce small series economically.

The modular system components are characterized by high process reliability, availability and low maintenance and operating costs. They allow the design of individual systems, each tailored to specific customer requirements.
Extensive experience in plant technology is the basis, implementing customer specific requirements. The design of the entire equipment and machinery ensures optimal energy efficiency.

We develop and manufacture the entire value chain in-house, from mechanical and hydraulic to the electrical design and software development. Thus, a reliable service can be guaranteed.

Compaction Procedure

Moulding sand compaction technologies developed by Künkel-Wagner, designed for the economical production of high-quality castings, have been established on the market for many years.

Depending on the product range, our customers can either make profit of the pre-compaction procedure AIRPRESSplus2000 or TWINPRESS, followed by the controlled mechanical final compaction.

Moulding Machines

The four different types of moulding machines (EPM, APM, DFM and HPM) vary in their working sequence and production output.

The compaction procedure is suitable for all four types of moulding machines – the outcome is always an excellent mould quality. The high mould strength leads to achievable narrow tolerances and optimized weights. This means that the investment for a high-end product amortizes its cost within a very short period of time. All system components are of a user-friendly and wear-resistant design. Any wear parts can easily be replaced.

The robust design of the components and the rigidity of the construction guarantee an extreme length of service, resulting in our plants being in operation for several decades with high precision and minimum downtime.
