THE PARTNER FOR FOUNDRIES

The company was established in Laasphe by Georg Müller

and Heinrich Wagner under the name of Müller & Wagner

as a factory for foundry machinery.

After demolition in the year 1945, the restart followed

under the name of Heinrich Wagner.

In the year 1975, the sales company for vacuum moulding

plants, Wagner Sinto, was set up. The association with

the SINTOKOGIO Group, the largest manufacturer of

foundry machinery worldwide, was realized in 1983.

. . . the Partner for Foundries

hws is a member of the worldwide SINTOKOGIO Group,

Japan, and is today a leading manufacturer of moulding

machines and related products for lines manufacturing

high-quality moulds for foundries.

Our facilities are located in Bad Laasphe. Departments for

administration, development and design, assembly of

moulding machines and lines and for the associated

hydraulic and electric equipment are all distributed between

three building complexes at this location.

Our branch works “Amalienhütte”, not far from the main works,

comprises the machine shop and fabricating department.

Complex welded structures are produced and machined

using modern CNC-controlled machines. The sawing centre,

integrated into this plant, operates fully automatically.

OUR RANGE OF ACTIVITIES

The mastery of these single activities forms the basis of the excellent

reputation that our company enjoys in the foundry industry.

As a result, this means for the customer that he can rely on the

quality “Made in Germany”.

On the basis of their experience gained during decades,

hws engineers and experienced specialists in the fields of design

and installation guarantee operational reliability and steadiness

of the equipment supplied and installed.

The know-how acquired in the development,

manufacture and commissioning of meanwhile more

than 500 plants worldwide provides the guarantee

of hands-on experience and competence.

hws attaches great importance to designing and

manufacturing all subassemblies, e.g. steel structure,

hydraulic parts and cylinders, switch cabinets,

controls, in-house.

This involves that the quality remains under one

umbrella; customer-specific requirements can be

realized directly and without delay.

Our well-trained service personnel may be at

customer’s site with flexibility and a short reaction time.

In addition, our control provides the possibility of a

remote diagnosis in order to further reduce possible

waiting periods.

WIDE-RANGINGCOMPETENCE

. . . the Partner for Foundries

Since 1983, hws has been designing SEIATSU moulding machines

and plants. The SEIATSU air-flow squeeze moulding process has

constantly been developed and permits perfect moulding quality.

The range of the excellent castings as to quality reaches from the

simple component and hydraulic castings up to sophisticated

automotive products.

TECHNOLOGYFOR PERFECT CASTINGS

The vacuum moulding process has experienced a comeback

during the last few years thanks to excellent output and

moulding results, in particular in case of large-sized components,

e.g. in the sector of railway castings.

The flaskless moulding machine type FBO produces high-quality

castings and is -thanks to its compactness- ready for production

within a minimum period of time after installation and operators’

instructions.

For an optimum mould filling, hws has been

developing automatic pouring machines the

advantage of which is that temperature,

flow rate and quantity of melt are precisely

controllable and, most notably, repeatable.

Besides other advantages, this fact guarantees

homogeneous casting features in the batch

production.

The Multi Pouring System permits the cost-effective production of castings of aluminium or grey cast iron in large-scale production with guaranteed processreliability. With the Multi Pouring System, the foundry-man may choose to either pour with the low-pressureprocess or with the conventional gravity process. There is a variety of possibilities to produce castingsindividually.

The hws research team provides various programs for the functional optimization and sequence control of modern moulding plants.

The Production Monitoring System A.L.S. 2010and the program P.D.C. 2010 (Plant Data Collection)have proven their worth in the foundry practice a long time ago.
