Description
Krakodlew is the largest foundry in Poland and one of the largest in Europe. It supplies over 100 steel plants around the world with metallurgical equipment, and a dozen or so leading manufacturers of cranes and excavators with weights and counterweights. The aim of the project is to implement an innovative technology of recovery, storage, and re-use of thermal energy from broken moulding mass. Thanks to the use of these solutions, Krakodlew will be able to provide its customers with castings that are cheaper, of better quality, and made in a much more accurate manner than they are made in today.
Under the project we are planning to carry out development works regarding the heat recovery system from broken moulding mass, and subsequently - the construction of this system, that is integration of its individual components and implementation of activities leading to a higher level of energy efficiency. The last element of the project is testing the entire installation, and the use of recovered thermal energy for heating water and facilities. We will reach an environmental effect by reducing the annual carbon emission by 311.03 tons, reducing the annual electricity consumption by 0.41 GWh, and reducing the amount of fresh sand used in the casting process by 276 tons.
