Workshop

Improve air quality and scrap quality in foundries

Find out how to reduce emissions and optimise scrap quality in the foundry. With real-world case studies and practical solutions for a more efficient and sustainable process.

Emissions and scrap quality in focus

During this evening seminar, you will discover how to tackle two crucial challenges in the foundry sector: emission reduction and the quality of scrap as a base raw material. You will gain insight into smoke, dust, VOC and odor emissions during the casting process and learn how technological innovation can help reduce them. In addition, you will learn how high-quality scrap contributes to stable processes and improved product properties. Practical case studies demonstrate concrete results.
