Doosan Infracore orders a second SinterCast process control system

* SinterCast Mini-System 3000 to be installed during second quarter * Production of heavy-duty diesel engine for off-road applications * Ongoing Compacted Graphite Iron product development [Incheon and Stockholm, 2 March 2015] - Doosan Infracore Co., Ltd, Korea's largest manufacturer of construction equipment and diesel engines, has ordered a second process control system from the Swedish Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) process control specialist SinterCast. Following the first SinterCast installation in 2006, and successful materials research and product development within Doosan Infracore, the new Mini-System 3000 will be used for the production of the CGI cylinder block of a new diesel engine developed for demanding off-road applications. Together, the two SinterCast installations will be used to enable independent CGI product development and series production within Doosan Infracore. The Mini-System 3000 is expected to be installed during the second quarter of 2015, with the initial CGI production beginning upon commissioning of the system. "We are pleased that Doosan Infracore's successful CGI product development, together with SinterCast's commitment to the important Korean market, has led to this second installation. The launch of a new engine, and Doosan Infracore's investment in a second process control system, reinforces the global trend toward CGI in the heavy-duty diesel sector for both on-road and off-road applications" said Dr. Steve Dawson, President & CEO of SinterCast. "We are motivated by Doosan Infracore's confidence in our technology - repeat business is the strongest endorsement of any technology, and one of our core objectives."
