PROCEDURES

Supersonic Technology

Supersonic technology allows for an effective and at the same time economic nondestructive weld seam testing. Even with wall thicknesses of more than 15 mm it yields excellent test results. A lack of fusion in the weld seam between the welding deposit and the parent metal can be recognized clearly and localized. A supersonic test conducted according to the technical bulletin AD 200 is always documented in a test report.

Magnetic Particle Testing

Magnetic particle testing is used to localize tears in or near the surface of welding seams and materials. This test procedure delivers much better results with reference to tears than a red-white test. We use this procedure at our plant and locally at our customers’ plants during the DGUV test.

Test Stand for Gear Units

DIN EN 1247 contains clear rules about the testing of ladle gear units. It says that the dynamic self-locking effect of the brake unit must be checked at least every 2 years. It must be performed on a test stand, and the examination data have to be documented. This is due to the fact that a turn of the ladle when it is filled or an unintentional tilting of the crossbar constitute a great risk

Examination of pouring, transport and slag ladles according to DGUV and repairs according to DIN EN 1247, Information 209-018- BGI 601 and DGUV 33/34.

A distinction is made between visual/functional tests and a main test. It includes a status assessment of the equipment (ladle) with reference to safety and functional features. During operation, under great stress, the operator must concentrate on the casting. It is therefore hardly possible to recognize defects or wear and tear, because that requires an objective evaluation of the current and the ideal status.

Our advantage lies in the fact that we test your tools free from production constraints and always according to current legal requirements, showing and documenting defects. As a certified company and manufacturer, we are perfectly equipped to ensure you optimum occupational safety. The exclusive use of original components will guarantee that you get reliable and safe tools.

We can perform any tests with our mobile team at your plant or you can send us your ladle. No matter how you use our services, we will always guarantee you a consistent quality.
