Trakya Döküm Builds Stability and Quality with Simpson Sand Systems
At Trakya Döküm, precision casting depends on consistent, high-quality sand.
As one of Europe’s most advanced foundries, supplying iron castings to key sectors such as automotive, commercial vehicles, home appliances, and agricultural machinery, the team prioritizes stability in every part of their process—and that starts with sand preparation.
Since opening in 1981, Trakya Döküm has relied on Simpson to help maintain the sand quality needed to support their growing and highly automated production lines. Today, their operations benefit from a combination of Simpson Speedmullors®, Multi-Cooler®, and Hartley control systems, which are integrated across multiple DISA molding lines.
A Partnership Built on Reliability
Trakya Döküm has evaluated other suppliers over the years but continues to choose Simpson. The reasons are clear: reliable equipment, responsive support, and consistent performance.
“Simpson’s support is fast and dependable,” Erhan Erdin, Maintenance Manager shared. “The equipment is reliable, and the new Multi-Coolers have reduced our energy and maintenance costs.”
Operators report that the equipment is easy to use and maintain—helping reduce downtime and simplify training. The team also believes that mulling is the most effective way to mix sand, noting its ability to create uniform quality and better mold consistency.
Across these lines, Simpson Speedmullors®, Multi-Coolers®, and Hartley control systems help Trakya Döküm keep up with production demands while improving sand consistency and reducing scrap.
Real Benefits on the Floor
Their Hartley control systems provide valuable real-time data that helps keep sand quality stable from batch to batch.
Since implementing Simpson systems, Trakya Döküm has seen measurable improvements:
- More stable sand quality
- Lower scrap rates and fewer casting defects
- Reduced energy and maintenance costs
- Less variability in materials like bentonite and water
- Consistent sand properties throughout production runs
Built for the Future
As Trakya Döküm continues to invest in automation and smart manufacturing, Simpson equipment plays a key role in keeping their process efficient, repeatable, and future-ready.
When asked if they’d recommend Simpson to others the answer was simple: “Yes—we’re satisfied with the performance. It’s helped us maintain quality production.”
