Successful plant engineering companies rely on hydraulics from WATZ

Innovative core sand treatment for foundries

More than 100 core sand treatment plants is a fact that speaks for itself: K&W is one of the most successful plant engineering companies in this field and its reputation has been built on quality and constant innovation since its beginnings in 1907. Its product offering ranges from individual casting machines to complete – fully or semi-automated – casting plants, including core sand treatment and regeneration. Casting machine performance ranges from 10 to 330 casts/hour. In exactly the same way as Watz, K&W always focuses on meeting its customers’ requirements. For this reason, the casting plant is always tailored to the customer’s special needs. The average technical availability of K&W is over 98%. High-precision humidity control and weighing equipment together with robust cooling and mixing design ensures a consistently high level of sand quality.

All K&W products are characterised by innovation, expertise and experience combined with sound, high-quality design. And in order to provide its customers with the trusted high quality in all areas of plant engineering, K&W also relies on hydraulic systems from WATZ.    
This is true for its projects all over the world. In Brazil, for example, it built a modern casting facility for an automotive components supplier which has been manufacturing motors and clutch systems for many well-known car makers in Curitiba/Paraná Brazil ever since. WATZ supplied the hydraulic power systems for this project. The equipment supplied includes hydraulic power units with a tank volume of up to 32,000 litres.
