Introduction to the Foundry
The foundry casting workshop is a basic production workshop. The main raw materials (pig iron, scrap steel, steel) are extracted from the raw material warehouse. The casting workshop processes the main materials into blank parts, which are directly transferred to the gold processing workshop for deep processing, and the finished products are processed into the domestic semi-finished product warehouse.
Introduction to the Foundry
The foundry's casting workshop is a basic production workshop. The main raw materials (pig iron, scrap steel, steel) are extracted from the raw material warehouse. The casting workshop processes the main materials into blanks, which are directly transferred to the gold processing workshop for deep processing, and the finished products are processed into the domestic semi-finished product warehouse.

There are two types of work systems in the foundry's casting workshop: phased work systems and parallel work systems. The phased operation system involves completing different production processes in the same workplace in different chronological orders. This work system is suitable for manual small-batch production of single pieces and is carried out in the floor casting workshop. The disadvantage is that the production cycle is long and it occupies a large area. According to the length of the cycle, it can be divided into two cycles day and night, one cycle day and night, etc.
The characteristic of the parallel work system of the foundry is that in different locations, different staff members can complete different learning and research content at the same time. This method is suitable for mechanized casting workshops that use mold conveyors. Its advantages are high productivity and high utilization of the workshop management work area. The parallel work system is divided into one, two, and three shifts of parallel work systems based on the shifts required for one day and one night.
Total working hours can be divided into nominal total working hours and actual total working hours. The nominal total working hours are equal to the statutory working days multiplied by the working hours per working day, that is, the total working hours regardless of time loss. The actual total number of management work hours is equal to the total number of nominal work hours minus the time cost loss (i.e., the time economic loss during equipment maintenance, worker time, and losses, etc.).
The foundry should reasonably arrange the workplace to create a good working environment for safe, excellent, and effective production. A chaotic environment will increase the number of accidents. A good working environment in the casting workshop should be reasonably laid out, with fresh air, sufficient lighting, and unobstructed passages.
Workshop layout: The workshop layout should make the flow of people and logistics reasonable, leave sufficient passages, and ensure that information channels are smooth, unobstructed, non-slip, free of water accumulation, and free of obstacles.
Material storage: Casting workshop managers often store a considerable amount of materials, so they should be equipped with special hoppers and scrap hoppers for loading materials to keep the workplace clean and orderly. The storage of various materials should comply with national safety management technical requirements to prevent collapse.
Ventilation: The interior design work area should have good natural ventilation. In places where harmful fumes, vapors, other gases, or dust may be generated during the production management process, if the natural resource cycle system on which the enterprise depends for survival cannot be taken away, ventilation fans, blowers, or other equipment with sufficient ventilation capacity should be installed, and attention should be paid to effective maintenance and maintenance of equipment information.
