COST SAVINGS
PC Campana is committed to cutting your costs with all of our foundry supplies and exothermic cutting systems.
Top Ten Ways we help you save:
1. Sand Savings
- Less oil/binder
- Price of binder
- Percent of binder in sand
- Volume of flask
- Even after burning, rise is still solid - therefore no sand contamination
- No Hot Topper - therefore no sand contamination in insulating sleeves
2. Amount of Iron Poured
- Chemical composition
- Prices per chemical
- Amount of iron in ladle
- Multiply cost of element per pound by percentage of element in mix
3. Re-heat Cost of Iron
4. Cleaning Time / Labor
- man hours x rate / hour
5. Cost of Materials in Cleaning
- Used Less Tool (example: $15.00 divided by 7 days = $214 / day)
- Cutoff saws
6. Lighter Casting
- Easier handling and convenience of exothermic cutting systems and insulating sleeves.
7. Improved Percentage of Scraps
- Won't have to remake expensive cored due to scrap casting cost of core - x number of remakes.
8. Decline Amount of Welding
- Welding decreases based on shrink on riser number of rods x price of rods used to fill shrink holes in welding areas
9. Yield Improvement
- Weight of casting divided by total riser and casting weight
- More castings per mould, calculated from to top risering
10. Sand to Metal Ratio Improved
- Total sand weight in flask divided by casting weight (sand density = .05/IN.3)
