Norican Group ApS

Norican Group is committed to making a positive contribution to the foundry industry. We focus on energy efficiency, innovative solutions and smart use of resources without compromising the design or quality of our machines. Our technologies, Italpresse Gauss, StrikoWestofen, Wheelabrator, DISA, cover the casting process end to end, allowing us to drive energy and resource efficiency in all areas of a foundry. Below are a few of our GIFA highlights.

Norican Group. Increasing productivity with IIoT technologies.

• Norican Data glasses (concept product) – Developed to provide quick access to a library of machinery supporting documents such as manuals, training videos and datasheets. It will also provide quick and easy live video access to contact our technical engineers for trouble shooting.

Eco Benefits include: less travel around the globe to support customers face to face.

• Monitizer – Turn your data into value. Customers use a browser-based dashboard to access actionable insights to maintain productivity and control resources. Eco Benefits include: optimised energy control, material and resource efficiency, production energy savings.

DISA. Zeroing in on Zero Defect Manufacturing (ZDM) to eliminate scrap. Scrap creates additional metal and energy costs due to re-melts and repours.

• DISA Trace & Guidance (TAG) – Foundries gain full casting traceability with DISA’s patent-pending TAG concept. TAG tracking helps drive down quality-related costs to previously unseen levels and prevents scrap - no need to re-melt scrapped castings.

Eco Benefits include: material and resource efficiency.

• DISA Mould Accuracy Controller (MAC) – Misalignment causes casting defects which then need extensive rework or must be scrapped. The DISA MAC helps foundries spot and quickly react to mould string inaccuracies in real time.

Eco Benefits include: saves energy and resources for re-melting / rework.

Italpresse Gauss. Innovative products that focus on energy efficiency for high pressure die casting machines.

• The ECO-FIT Mode - A smart system designed to regulate hydraulic pumps within the hardware. Reduces energy consumption by up to 50%.

Eco Benefits include: reduction in energy consumption.

• ECO-FIT Mode Plus - The features of ECO-FIT Mode combined with the advantage of a single-stage pump and a low-inertia motor with encoder feedback, increasing energy savings to up to 60%.

Eco Benefits include: significant reduction in energy consumption due to extra efficiencies.

StrikoWestofen. Presenting a wide range of eco products and innovations at GIFA.

• Westomat – The cleanest dosing system, it uses only 1/3 of energy compared to any other ladle system and holding furnace. As little as 0.06% metal loss.

Eco Benefits include:  energy efficient, resource efficient.

• StrikoMelter BigStruc - The latest innovative solution for melting huge returns. Optimum pre-heating of the material increases furnace efficiency by up to 5%. Melts huge returns as one, reducing the number of steps required for melting large returns.

Eco Benefits include: energy efficiency, resource-efficient.

• StrikoMelterPurEfficiency – The world’s most energy efficient furnace. Uses only 489 kWh/t.

Eco Benefits include: energy efficiency.

• Part Load Efficiency – A software that enables foundries to charge the StrikoMelter in the most efficient way, even when it is not a full load. Reduces energy consumption by up to 20%.

Eco Benefits include: energy efficient, resource efficient.

Wheelabrator. Showing the latest resource-efficient shot blast technology.

• UC70 blast wheel – Our latest heavy-duty blast wheel cleans quickly and effectively, saving energy and reducing abrasive consumption by 15%.

Eco Benefits include: energy savings, resource efficiency

• ECOFIT – An ecofit shot blast machine will automatically switch to energy saving mode if unused for a short period of time.

Eco Benefits include: energy saving.
