KSB extends India foundry
Planning of the new foundry focussed on ecological requirements to ensure environmentally friendly production. The plant is equipped with a flue gas collector and dust extraction systems to control air pollution. In addition, water pollution is avoided by a water treatment plant. Up to 80 percent of the sand used for moulds and cores is reclaimed.
A total of three ovens are available at the foundry: one for the drying of moulds, one for drying cores and another for scrap metal heating. The demand for high-quality steel castings within globally operating KSB Group is continuously rising. As there is only a limited number of suppliers able to meet international quality requirements, KSB decided to extend its own capacities.
