    Regitz-Consulting GMBH: Do More For Less

    This document summarizes a new feeder type called RegRiser that can reduce the weight and volume of feeders for castings. It describes 22 simulations of a nodular iron casting with variations in the dimensions of the RegRiser feeder design. The simulations show that designs V19 and V20 perform the best with minimum risk and weight. The RegRiser allows for increased yield and reduced costs compared to traditional feeder designs.

    Subject : RegRiser - A NEW FEEDER TYPE Datum / Date : 29.08.10

    “Do more for less” is the new mantra for the future.
    I- a foundry engineer with long term experience - support you in
    achieving this dream of yours come true in your foundry site.

    It’s not costly, but it’s sustainable as far as energy


    consumption, material consumption and other cost items are
    concerned- and it is adaptable to your needs.

    With the help of good software for simulation of solidification


    of castings made for Grey- , Vermicular- or Nodular- Iron you
    can reduce the weight/volume of the feeders remarkably.
    The only request is the use of our new feeder type: RegRiser

    With the use of it, the yield goes up and the costs go
    down.
    In most of cases the use of sleeves or other exothermic
    materials will become unnecessary.
    Simulation of solidification is used in so many foundries and it’s
    a pity that in most of the cases it’s not used to reduce the costs
    on running parts.
    What’s the RegRiser? It’s simply the geometrical shape of it,
    which makes the difference.
    The use of simulation of solidification process together with the
    application of the RegRiser became already a great success
    story for smart people using it.
    8 foundries world wide in Asia, Arabic country, Europe, South
    America and USA have already taken over the idea and they
    appreciate the advanced but really simple technology. For a
    better understanding, have a look at the following study on a
    virtual casting made of Nodular Iron.
    The simulation speaks for itselves.
    nothing is permanent except change
