We handed over an electric carousel furnace for annealing molds (shells) of precision casting, complete with a gas post-combustion chamber for burning of released organic impurities, to the important manufacturer of jet engines in the Czech Republic, the company PBS Velká Bíteš.
Only a few weeks remain until the start of the FAKUMA trade fair, the world's leading trade event that offers a comprehensive overview of all plastics technologies. The fair takes place on October 15-19, 2024 at the exhibition center in Friedrichshafen, Germany. Please accept our invitation to visit the LAC booth number FO-17, in the area of the East entrance foyer.
Let us invite you to visit our exposition at the International Engineering Fair in Brno, which takes place from 8th to 11th October 2024. Please accept our invitation to visit Stand 32, Pavilion V. Our stand will be open throughout the fair.
We would like to inform you about technical modifications of M top loading ceramic kiln. For this furnace model, we carried out an overall innovation focused on adjusting partial properties and realizing production with the help of new mechanical equipment. In this innovation, we are also inspired by the suggestions of both business partners and our customers.
This year, you could also visit us in the spring months at the LAC stand during the KOK fairs in Wels, Austria, Progetto Fuoco in Verona, Italy, Energiesparmesse in Wels, Austria, and finally at the Instalacje fair in Poznań, Poland.
Since 2024, the company has been implementing a project entitled "Developing business opportunities for LAC in the international markets through individual participation in foreign fairs", which is financially supported by the European Union.
The KOK trade fair in Wels, Austria, the Energiesparmesse fair also in Wels, Austria, and thirdly, the premiere World of Fireplaces exhibition in Leipzig, Germany. These are the fairs at which LAC refractory concretes were presented to a wide professional and lay public in 2023.
After a one-year break due to the coronavirus epidemic, the relocation and even cancellation of some traditional fairs, three traditional fairs with LAC Refractory castable shapes participiation were successfully launched in the spring of 2022 - WEBUILD Energiesparmesse in Wels, Austria, Instalacje in Poznan, Poland and Progetto Fuo Verona, Italy.
The Progetto Fuoco exhibition in Verona, Italy and the Energiesparmesse fair in city of Wels, Austria. These are trade fairs that LAC refractory castable shapes could not miss in 2020.
Now we’re in 87th place.
During the financial crisis, companies adapted to customer requirements and began manufacturing efficient machines and facilities. Now, a job market crisis has replaced the financial crisis, and Czech companies are seeking ways to come to terms with the lack of workers.
Ing. Kučerka has been with LAC since the very beginning. He was even with us in the time when there wasn’t a LAC yet, just Ledl and Crhák—two friends and foundrymen who assembled their first furnace for ceramics at Kučerka’s suggestion. Their “lunar lander.” Their actual first furnace exploded in a few hours.
Our designers have improved upon our older SV line of chamber dryers. The new SV Mk. II stands out through its faster air circulation, which not only speeds up its arrival at maximum temperature, but also significantly improves the permeation of heat into the charge.
This leap year has brought a great leap for LAC. You see, on 29 February 2016, we manufactured our 13,000th furnace.
Export to Russia is falling, and this is affecting engineering the most. However, LAC, a manufacturer of industrial furnaces and dryers, is continuing to do business in Russia successfully. Nevertheless, this does bring considerable complications. More active cooperation with Poland, Great Britain, and Sweden is replacing the falling profits on the Russian market somewhat.
“We have brought new and innovative equipment with us to every trade fair so far. But this time we’ve taken a slightly different route. We wanted to show that even with our standard equipment, customers get a little something more. Something that makes their work easier. For this furnace, it’s a cylinder line that significantly reduces the demands of loading charges,” explains LAC director Zdeněk Vysloužil.
