Fagor Ederlan Tafalla Premières a new line of moldeo for blocks of engine
Fagor Ederlan Tafalla S. Coop., pertaining to the Group Fagor Ederlan, to his time integrated cheese cheese in the Corporation Mondragón, carries more than 40 years like specialist in the manufacture of blocks engine and butts for the sector of automotive sector and industrial. The new line of moldeo supposes a bet of future oriented to consolidate the business project of the cooperative, situating to the company tafallesa like one of the most advanced technologically of his sector in Europe. The new installation is one of the most modern of the market, characterises by his big level of automation and flexibility, and has a cadence combined to manufacture, to the hour, 300 blocks of engine of car and 150 of engine of industrial vehicle. His annual capacity of production surpasses the 100.000 tonnes, so that the new line of moldeo equalises the volume of production of the two current lines. In concrete, the capacity of production in vehicle car multiplies by four and in industrial vehicle by two.
The new line of moldeo has an annual capacity of upper production to the 100.000 tonnes and by himself alone is able to equalise the volume of production that realises with the two current lines. With the new installation, the productive capacity in vehicle car multiplies by four and in industrial vehicle by two.
Likewise, this technology allows to Fagor Ederlan Tafalla access to the market with a proposal of product lightened increasingly sued by the sector, with blocks engine with thicknesses and tolerances reduced. To his time, the increase of size of box also allows him expand his capacity of offer in blocks of engine and butts for industrial vehicle, as well as manufacture products with costs more competitive.
The group Fagor Ederlan has received from 2003 helps by a near amount to the 9 million euros by part of the Government of Navarra. Of them, 8.144.991 euros are helps to the investment and to the employment; 145.269 euros, helps to the competitiveness; and 637.251 euros help to the innovation. The plant sold in 2011 near of 1,5 million blocks and butts, and invoiceed 119 million euros. His international sales represent 61% of his total turnover. The main external markets are France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Mexico, Argentina, Turkey and South Korea.
Fagor Ederlan Tafalla (In the past Victorio Luzuriaga, between 1969 and 2008) employs in the actuality 770 people of direct form. Of them, 430 they are partners cooperativistas and 340, workers by extraneous account (120 with indefinite agreement and 220 eventual).
technical Detail of the installation of moldeo in Fagor Ederlan Tafalla
Line of Moldeo HWS
- Machine of moldeo-cabecera of machine: the main equipment is of the German company Heinrich Wagner Sinto, first manufacturer to world-wide level of installations of moldeo. The installation has a size of box of moldeo of 1.400x1.000x400 and his configuration of double cabezal allows us manufacture of simultaneous form several references at the same time With a cadence of 150 boxes/hour, to full performance reaches a production combined of 300 blocks of engine of car and 150 blocks of engine of industrial vehicle. The system of moldeado is the called system Seiatsu (filled of mould with current of air to low pressesure), with which achieves a high dimensional quality in the moldeado of pieces with difficult geometries. This technology allows us access to the market of blocks with thicknesses and tolerances reduced, increasingly sued in the new projects.
- Cell male setting: it incorporates an innovative system of artificial vision to detect the position of the males in the balda and later ensure that the robot takes them and places on the plates utilladas. To his time allows to detect possible failures of quality in the male and delete the no valid product. It is composed by two cells twins that are able to feed two types of product to the new line.
- Line of moldeo: the platform fusora of Fagor Ederlan Tafalla has a cubilote and two ovens of maintenance of liquid ironinging (one of 75 tonnes and another of 40), that feed of ironinging to the different lines of moldeo. The new line of moldeo has two ovens of colada, which commission to realise the filled of the moulds in the different types of pieces manufactured. The temperature of the liquid ironinging colado reaches the 1.420 °C. Once colados the moulds transport to a tunnel of cooling that allows to store boxes during a period of between 1 hour and 8 hours, time in which they achieve solidify the pieces. Once realised this task the pieces desmoldan and move to the process of finishing. All this process complements with the installation of manufacturing of sand, necessary for the manufacture of the moulds.
