Features/Benefits Provided: Increased Productivity Increased Safety Decreased Product Damage Easier, Faster Installation

Business: Primary Metal - Iron Pipe Foundry

Application: The cranes handle patterns and flasks used to make ductile iron fittings. They are used to prepare each pattern/flask combination for entry to a mold conveyor line where they will be filled with sand and drawn out for molding.

The Problem: This line had a severe lack of material handling equipment. Pieces were often being moved with forklifts 3-4 times to accomplish the task of preparing the flasks for the mold loop.

• Continue to use forklifts
• A new very expensive mold conveyor loop

Results: With the addition of the Cleveland Tramrail™ Systems what used to take 3-4 moves, usually with a forklift, now only takes two moves and hourly output has increased 50%. With this increase the Cleveland Tramrail™ systems have already paid for themselves.
