Production
A substantial part of production on Metso Foundries Jyväskylä is supplied to industries outside the Metso Corporation. The Metso’s Jyväskylä Foundry employs approx. 275 persons and the production capacity is around 25.000 tons a year. The high-quality iron grades produced are grey iron and nodular iron.
The production is divided into two manufacturing lines::
| Hand moulded castings | weight range 500-100.000 kg |
| Roll and cylinder castings | in length over 12 m, Ø 2 m |
Two production processes: one specializing in demanding heavy weight castings up to 100 ton, the other cylinder and roll shells over 12 m in length, Ø2 m and 100 ton in weight. Batch sizes vary between one to hundreds per year. Both grey and nodular iron qualities are applied and in most cases the castings are delivered with certificates of classification authorities.
Typical castings: dryer cylinders, rolls, axles, cylinder blocks, hubs, frames, planet carriers, gearboxes and flywheels.
The latest information technology is incorporated to assist engineering, production and management in the Metso’s Foundries. The computerized casting design and iron simulation tools assure improved product quality and shorter lead times. When these simulation results are combined with NC-pattern making, full potential of modern CAE tools can be made use of.
