Literature+PLUS+
Literature+PLUS+ is a twice-yearly, product/literature section designed to provide easy access to information from today’s leading suppliers. These suppliers of metalcasting equipment, materials and services are offering a variety of free, informative catalogs and brochures to the readers of MODERN CASTING. The following products can help provide some of the most innovative ways to improve foundry efficiency.
Vibratory Equipment
Te General Kinematics Vibra-Drum Dross Reclamation Mill quickly liberates precious metals from slag and dross in either a continuous or batch process. High energy vibration breaks down material up to 5 times faster than rotary or other types of reclamation devices, and the small footprint mini- mizes space requirements.—General

Simulation Software “Arena-flow®
Business Software is the only foundry
engineering software package which uses the revolutionary Computational Particle Fluid Dynamics (CPFD®
)
technology to accurately predict sand core filling, miss-fills, density varia- tions and curing. Tis award winning technology enables you to: produce consistent cores with confidence; gain insight into core-related cast- ing defects; reduce new tooling startup costs; optimize cycle time and consumable usage; minimize capital costs; minimize scrap; and reduce down time and tooling maintenance
costs.—Arena-flow, LLC Ph: 505-275-3849 • Fax: 505/275-3346
